Chicago Fire vs Columbus Crew prediction, odds and how to watch

Nashville SC put Chicago Fire to the sword with a commanding 3-0 victory, with goals from Sam Surridge, Cristian Espinoza and Hany Mukhtar sealing all three points and a clean sheet at home.

Columbus Crew left Montréal with three points they barely had to sweat for, goals from Mohamed Farsi and Brais Méndez exposing a CF Montréal side that cannot defend, cannot score, and cannot compete at the basic level required. Five losses from their last five in MLS tells you everything.

New England took all three points at Chicago Fire, winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Dor Turgeman and Peyton Miller, then a decisive strike from substitute Maren Haile-Selassie. Chicago dominated the ball and the stats sheet but could not convert their chances when it mattered.

Ronald Donkor's late right-foot finish handed New York RB a 1-0 win at Columbus Crew, punishing a home side that created plenty but delivered nothing until it was too late. Columbus had the chances. They just did not take them.

Two teams in rotten form collide in MLS on Sunday, but Cincinnati's defensive numbers are in a place beyond embarrassing. Columbus Crew arrive with problems of their own, but this one stinks of opportunity for the visitors.

New England host a Chicago Fire side that has not won in five MLS matches, while the Revolution arrive into this fixture off the back of a victory over these very same opponents. Something has to give.

Chicago Fire have not won in five MLS matches and cannot keep a clean sheet to save their lives. Philadelphia Union arrive in Illinois having lost none of their last ten.

Columbus Crew have won once in their last five MLS matches and Charlotte arrive having not lost in ten. This one is not complicated.
