Chicago Fire and Orlando City meet in a league game where both still have something to play for from here. The hosts sit 4th and need points to hold their place, while the visitors are 7th and still need to collect as many points as possible in the remaining games. Chicago Fire just won 3-2 in their latest match, but the overall picture over the last five is three wins and two losses, and the defence still shows clear leaks. Orlando City, meanwhile, are unbeaten in four straight, but draws and losses are mixed in, especially a defence that has conceded 72 goals in 31 games - a number that says their away games are never steady. This game should open up and trade chances from the start, because both teams tend to concede more than they keep things tight, especially late in games where Orlando City concede 28% of all the goals they let in. If the hosts get on the ball and push high as expected, the first half may end with the score still close, but the second half should have more scoring chances than the opening period.
