New York Red Bulls vs Chicago Fire Prediction and Betting Tips | 13th April 2024

New York Red Bulls host Chicago Fire at the Red Bull Arena in the MLS on Friday, looking to consolidate their position at the top of the Eastern Conference table.

With four wins from the opening seven games of the 2024 campaign, the Red Bulls are currently leading the charge with 14 points, two more than any other side.

Sandro Schwarz's side are coming off the back of a narrow 2-1 comeback win over Cincinnati, with Dante Vanzeir netting the winner for the visitors in the 60th minute.

It's been a fine start for a side that only managed to finish eighth in the regular league phase last season while another win here will consolidate their position atop the league standings.

Meanwhile, Chicago Fire are down in 10th position with just two wins and eight points in the bag from seven games. Their second win came in their most recent outing, with a 2-1 defeat of Houston Dynamo last weekend, as Brian Gutierrez netted the winner in the 78th minute.
