Nashville SC
- Nashville SC can get the better of Chicago Fire in what could be an end-to-end matchup at Geodis Park, USA.
- The Boys in Gold are inconsistent by comparison with two wins, two draws and a defeat in their last five, but they have won their last two home matches without conceding and should have the edge on Sunday.
Chicago Fire
The Fire are in better form with no defeats in their last five MLS 2026 games, but four straight draws have somewhat stunted their momentum.
Head-to-Head
Nashville are unbeaten in two home meetings with the Fire.
Nashville SC
- BJ Callaghan has Nashville playing in a compact style, but they are vertical and very good at pressing and then transitioning into the attack at speed.
- Sam Surridge is their main man with 15 goals in 19 MLS 2026 matches, but he has hit three in the last five.
Chicago Fire
- Gregg Berhalter has the Fire playing a more structured, possession-based style where they overload the midfield and can change shape to cause problems for the opposition.
- Robert Lewandowski has also found some form for the Fire.
- Hugo Cuypers has been their main threat with 13 goals in 11 games and he keeps the Fire in every game.
Betting Insights
- Nashville are the heavy favorites at _1.73_ with Chicago listed at _4.0_ and the draw at _4.1_.

- Nashville have drawn just once at home in 2026 and scored 36 times.
Prediction
