Chicago Fire
- Chicago Fire are fifth in MLS 2026 (38 points from 22 games) but New England Revolution are one place below them on 37 points from 23.
- The Revs are coming into this game after a 2-1 away defeat to LA Galaxy, while Chicago have won two and drawn three of their last five, including a 4-4 tie with Toronto FC today.
- Chicago have won seven, drawn none and lost three of their 10 home games in MLS 2026, so are a solid force at this venue, averaging 2.00 goals scored and only 1.10 conceded per game.
New England Revolution
- New England, on the other hand, are more open on the road, having won three, drawn two and lost six of 11 away trips with 18 goals shipped along the way.
- New England are almost a mirror image under Marko Mitrović, who has been in charge since November 2025, preferring a more vertical, pressing approach that suits the counter-attack style.
Head-to-Head
There isn't much to choose between these sides, with the last five head-to-head games split 2-1-2 in favour of the hosts.
Key Players
- Hugo Cuypers is Chicago's biggest threat, a target-man with 13 MLS 2026 goals in 11 games, making him by far the most ruthless striker in the league.
- Carles Gil is the Revs' leading marksman with nine in 23 games and is a creator-finisher blend, but his side have been sharper on the counter lately, as shown by their 3-1 away win over Columbus Crew and a total of nine goals scored in their last five games.
- Maren Haile-Selassie is another live wire for the hosts to watch this weekend as he has scored four of the Fire's 10 goals in their last five, while Alhassan Yusuf has three in the same span for the away side and Jack Harrison has contributed three assists.
Betting Insights
The Men in Red are favorites for this game at 1.67 , although the odds for a New England win are an attractive 4.2 with the draw priced at 4.3 .
Prediction
- Chicago have drawn their last three matches, so we can't bring ourselves to back them for a win even though they are at home and in better form.
- Instead, we'll go for over 2.5 goals at 1.44, which is on the low side, but fits the attacking angles we favour for this matchup of possession versus pressure.
- We will also back both teams to score at 1.45, which should also be true given the attacking nature of the game.
