In this preview, you’ll find expert MLS Predictions based on form, stats, and trends from XpertStats tipsters.
- Montreal have conceded 3+ goals in 4 of their last 6 home MLS matches
- Chicago Fire average a league-high 4.75 goals per game this season
- Montreal have beaten Chicago in 5 of their last 6 home clashes
- Chicago Fire games have seen Over 2.5 goals in 100% of matches this season
Montreal are enduring a tough spell in Major League Soccer, sitting bottom of the Eastern Conference following a 2-1 defeat at Philadelphia Union on Wednesday. Their scoring woes continue, averaging just 0.8 goals per match, and they’ve found the net once or less in nine of their 10 home games. Defensively, the story isn’t much better — Montreal are conceding 2.2 goals per match and have shipped three or more goals in four of their last six games at home.
Despite their struggles, Montreal do have a strong historical home record against Chicago Fire, having gone unbeaten in their last seven MLS matches at Saputo Stadium against the Fire, winning five of those. Prince Owusu remains their lone consistent threat in front of goal, scoring in three straight matches and carrying the team’s attacking load in July.
Chicago Fire, on the other hand, are the definition of all-action entertainment. Their matches average a staggering 4.75 goals per game, with 100% of their fixtures seeing Over 2.5 goals. Offensively potent but defensively leaky, Gregg Berhalter’s side has scored 2.58 goals per match while conceding 2.17. They’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in any away game this season and have dropped points in four matches despite taking the lead.
Key absences, including Carlos Teran and Chris Mueller, may impact Chicago’s balance, but the Fire’s forward line remains explosive. Philip Zinckernagel and Maren Haile-Selassie continue to deliver, while the team has scored in every away match. Their high-scoring nature combined with Montreal’s defensive frailties makes a goal-laden game likely. Expect more fireworks in this Eastern Conference clash, as both teams push to get back on track.
This match features two of the most goal-prone sides in the MLS this season, making Over 2.5 Goals a strong betting pick. Chicago Fire games have produced an astonishing average of 4.75 goals per match, with every single one of their fixtures seeing at least three goals. They’ve scored in every away game and conceded in all of them, underlining the openness of their style. Meanwhile, CF Montreal average 3 total goals per match themselves, despite their struggles. They’ve conceded three or more goals in four of their last six home league games and have only kept one clean sheet in their last 10. Chicago’s attacking line, led by Zinckernagel and Haile-Selassie, is capable of exploiting Montreal’s defensive lapses. With both teams averaging high combined goals per game and poor defensive records, this fixture is statistically primed for multiple goals. Historical data and current form back up the high probability of Over 2.5 landing.
