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

 by Bradley Gibbs | in Major League Soccer Picks

Having stormed into the playoffs last season, looking like a team to beat, before failing rather rapidly, the Columbus Crew will be hoping that 2025 is their year. They kick things off in front of a home crowd on Saturday night, where they'll take on a Chicago Fire team that struggled hugely during the previous campaign. 

Finishing the regular season as the second best team in the Eastern Conference back in 2024, the Crew were expected to thrive in the play-offs. It didn't quite happen, with them coming unstuck against the Red Bulls. That disappointment is now behind them, and if Wilfried Nancy's men can deliver the same level of general effort as they did last year, then they're going to thrive again, that's for sure. 

In contrast, the Fire will be hoping to avoid a repeat of their 2024 general efforts. Something similar just won't do, especially if the men now coached by Gregg Berhalter want to get anywhere near the postseason. The appointment of Berhalter is certainly a positive one, there can be no denying that. Let's see if such a move spakrs improvement.

Our Columbus Crew vs Chicago Fire Prediction

Even as the Fire struggled last term, especially offensively, Belgian forward Hugo Cuypers still managed to show his goal-scoring abilities, posting some encouraging stats. Let's face it, Cuypers is an out-and-out scorer, someone who can definitely cause most defenses serious problems if playing in the right team. It wouldn't be a surprise if Berhalter can get the Fire to be more creative and forward-thinking this season, so don't be surprised if Cuypers thrives. I'm betting on him to begin the season in the right way by netting. Our Columbus Crew vs Chicago Fire Pick: Hugo Cuypers to Score.
