Read our preview for the DC United vs Chicago Fire game. Both sides are looking to break into the playoff spots after an underwhelming start to the campaign. Below is our prediction and betting preview. Betting Preview For DC United vs Chicago Fire Betting On DC United DC United snapped their poor run with a 2-1 win over FC Cincinnati, a result that will inject some belief into the squad. However, form remains patchy with just one win in their last six MLS outings. Sitting 12th in the Eastern Conference, the hosts have struggled with defensive structure and consistency in the final third. While they can threaten going forward, lapses at the back have cost them critical points. They will hope to build on last week\u2019s upset against one of the league\u2019s stronger sides. Betting On Chicago Fire The Fire come into this clash on the back of an impressive 3-1 win over Orlando City, with striker Hugo Cuypers netting a quick brace. That victory ended a run of three straight losses and might be the spark they\u2019ve needed. Chicago currently occupy 11th in the East, just above DC United, and will see this game as a six-pointer in the race to stay within playoff contention. While they remain inconsistent, recent attacking improvement and the rise in Cuypers&#8217; form suggest a turning point. MatchPlug Prediction For DC United vs Chicago Fire Both teams have been underwhelming overall, but Chicago Fire look sharper heading into this encounter. With DC\u2019s leaky defense and Chicago\u2019s newfound attacking edge, the visitors have a slight advantage.
