Betting Tips for Chicago Fire vs Atlanta United

As seen in both sides recent form, they have both struggled for wins. Therefore, deciding on the end result of the game could be tough as they are both not looking in top form.

However, looking at their recent form, both sides are poor at the back, conceding numerous goals. Therefore, predicting both teams to score seems like it will payout, considering that both sides are unable to keep clean sheets.

Final Prediction

Both sides are in poor form recently, there is no denying that. Neither side seems capable of being able to keep the ball out of their own net, and neither looks like they can win.

Looking at recent meetings between the two, goals are common, and you would expect it to be the same. Atlanta have a strong attack, with players like former Newcastle United player Miguel Almiron and former Middlesborough star striker Emmanuel Latte Lath. Therefore, I think Atlanta can get a win with their strong attack, scoring plenty of goals. I predict a 3-1 win to Atlanta.
