Chicago Fire vs Columbus Crew Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

 by Bradley Gibbs | in Major League Soccer Picks

An out-of-form Chicago Fire will be back in action on Saturday evening, and this time they'll play in front of a home crowd, not that the supposed comforts of Soldier Field have meant much in recent times. The Fire are without a win in six overall, while they've failed to win any of their last four at home, three of which they've lost. Therefore, there probably won't be much optimism buzzing around the stadium as they take on a Columbus Crew team that comes here off the back of an exciting away-day win last time out.

Chicago Fire - Columbus Crew Key Points

  1. The hosts have failed to score in five of their last six Major League Soccer fixtures.
  2. Less than three goals have been scored in each of the Fire's last three home games.
  3. Less than three goals have been scored in only two out the Crew's five away games this season.
  4. At home, the Fire have scored an average of just 1.00 goals, while the visitors have scored an average 1.20 goals.

Our Chicago Fire vs Columbus Crew Prediction

The hosts are struggling for form right now, and most of their struggles can be put down to a lack of offensive quality. Saturday's hosts have scored in just one of their last six games, while it's not as if they've created an abundance of chances in those games either, averaging just 0.92 xG. However, on a slightly more positive note, they've not always given loads away, keeping a clean sheet in two of those six games, conceding just once in two of the other four. The visitors come here in decent form, but given that the hosts, with their lack of forward power right now, may look to keep things tight first and foremost, we perhaps shouldn't expect the goals to fly in. After all, less than three goals have been scored in three of the Crew's five away games this term, as well as in each of the Fire's last three at home. Our Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals.
