Chicago Fire vs Nashville Prediction and Betting Tips for this Saturday’s MLS Eastern Conference clash at Soldier Field. Both sides are in strong form heading into the fixture, and in this article, you’ll find MLS Predictions and key insights from XpertStats experts.
- Chicago Fire have scored 10 goals in their last two MLS matches
- Nashville are unbeaten in eight league games and ten across all competitions
- Both teams average over 2.5 total goals per game this season
- Nashville have scored 14 goals in their last five meetings with Chicago
Chicago Fire are peaking at the right time, coming into this match off the back of two emphatic wins. A 3-1 away victory at Orlando was followed by a stunning 7-1 demolition of DC United, with Tom Barlow netting a hat-trick. Berhalter’s side has now won six of their last seven in all competitions, propelled by Zinckernagel’s red-hot form the midfielder has scored in five straight games and sits on 13 goal contributions this season. With 35 goals in 16 matches, Fire boast one of the strongest attacking records in MLS.
Despite missing Rominigue Kouame due to injury, the hosts have plenty of depth in midfield. Sam Williams is expected to start alongside Acosta and Zinckernagel, while Haile-Selassie and Bamba offer explosive support from the wings. With Chicago averaging 2.33 total goals per game and hitting the +2.5 goals line in 50% of matches, another high-scoring affair looks likely, especially with confidence flowing through the squad.
But Nashville SC arrive in Chicago with a formidable record of their own, having not lost in MLS play since mid-April. BJ Callaghan’s men are unbeaten in eight league matches and are just one point behind second-placed FC Cincinnati. Sam Surridge is firing on all cylinders with 11 goals in 17 appearances, including five in his last three outings. Nashville also average 2.86 total goals per game, hitting over 2.5 goals in 71% of matches, and have scored 14 times in their last five games against Chicago.
With key players like Hany Mukhtar (7 goals, 6 assists) and Surridge in top form, Nashville’s frontline is well-equipped to trouble a Chicago side that hasn’t kept a clean sheet in six games. Even without Zimmerman and Shaffelburg, the Coyotes remain a well-balanced side, consistently finding the net and creating chances. Given both sides’ offensive momentum and defensive vulnerabilities, this clash promises fireworks. Expect another match loaded with goals as two of MLS’s most dangerous attacks collide in Chicago.
Chicago Fire and Nashville SC are two of the most entertaining teams in MLS right now, and all signs point to another high-scoring affair this Saturday. Chicago have scored 10 goals in their last two league matches and average 2.33 total goals per game this season. They've gone over 2.5 goals in 50% of their matches, while Nashville surpass that at a rate of 71%, with an even higher season average of 2.86 total goals per match.

Notably, the last meeting between these two ended 7-2 in Nashville’s favor, and the visitors have scored 14 goals across their last five matches against Chicago. Given the form of goal threats like Surridge and Mukhtar for Nashville, and Barlow and Zinckernagel for Chicago, over 2.5 goals is a statistically backed and value-rich tip.
