New York City vs Chicago Fire Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

Prediction published on 8/22/24, 7:30 PM by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 8/23/24 at 10:47 AM in Major League Soccer Picks

Having lost in rather agonizing fashion in the Leagues Cup quarter-finals, exiting via a penalty shootout, the NYCFC boys will be keen to get back down to it Major League Soccer. On Saturday night, they're back at Yankee Stadium, where they'll take on the Chicago Fire, who didn't get very far in the Leagues Cup, exiting at the earliest possible stage. However, having had longer to prepare, the visitors may fancy themselves to deliver a decent performance in the Bronx.

Our New York City vs Chicago Fire Prediction

Given his numbers, Hugo Cuypers looks a little generously priced to score at Yankee Stadium on Saturday. Sure, this is a tricky fixture for the Fire, but they've had plenty of time to prepare for this, while the Belgian forward is likely ready to rock and roll. We know thatg Cuypers is a dangerous poacher and we know that he can score in tough games. He's scored against both the Glaaxy and the Union this season, while his data is solid, there's no getting away from that. Odds of +220 look bigger than they probably should be (and probably would be had their not been a break) and are simply worth taking. Our Best Bet: Hugo Cuypers to Score.
