DC United vs Chicago Fire Prediction and Betting Tips | 2nd September 2023

DC United host Chicago Fire at the Audi Field Stadium on Saturday for a clash in the MLS, looking to end their losing run in the league.

The Black and Reds are winless in their last four games, even losing the most recent three, as the side are currently going through a slump in form. This has also seen them drop to 10th position in the Eastern Conference standings with 30 points from 26 games.

During this period, DC United also flattered to deceive in the 2023 Leagues Cup. They lost 3-0 to Pumas UNAM in their second group match before a 5-4 penalty shootout loss to Philadelphia Union in the round of 16.

Suffice it to say, it's been a rough last few weeks for Wayne Rooney's side. However, they will be relieved to know that Chicago Fire are also going through a rough patch of form at the moment.

Coincidentally, the Fire have also lost their last three MLS games, most recently a 1-0 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday. This downward spiral has seen them slide down to ninth in the table, just above DC United with two points more.
