Sunday morning sees a return to MLS action as Soldier Field hosts a clash between Chicago Fire and Los Angeles FC. Read our preview for the Chicago Fire vs LAFC match. Both teams will be eager to secure three points, but the build-up to this match could play a big role in the outcome. Matchplug’s has the best prediction, tips for all MLS matches. Betting Preview for Chicago Fire vs LAFC Betting On Chicago Fire The Fire have momentum, with recent back-to-back wins and attacking threats in good form. Philip Zinckernagel, in particular, has been deadly in front of goal this season, scoring 10 times from midfield and consistently finding space against strong opponents. Betting On LAFC The Black and Gold will be confident after defeating Tigres midweek, but their heavy schedule and defensive lapses could be exploited by a clinical Chicago side. When we last saw Chicago, they were in good form, winning two straight games. LAFC, meanwhile, have shown vulnerability at the back recently, conceding in several of their latest outings. MatchPlug Prediction for Chicago Fire vs LAFC Zinckernagel’s scoring touch and LAFC’s leaky defence make this an appealing spot for a home breakthrough. The Dane’s knack for arriving late into the box could be decisive once again. While LAFC have quality going forward, Chicago’s rest and home advantage could give them the edge.
