Chicago Fire FC vs. Orlando City SC Betting Prediction

Chicago Fire FC Preview

Gregg Berhalter’s crew were dismantled in an embarrassing road effort last week, losing 7-2 against Nashville SC. The Fire conceded five first-half goals which was the fifth time in MLS history that scenario occurred. Inside the 90-minute frame, Chicago was outshot 18 to eight while finishing with an xG of 0.53. 

In a two-way tie at the top of the MLS Golden Boot race, Hugo Cuypers managed to find the back of the net last weekend. With seven tallys in 2025, the Belgium-born striker is only three goals behind his season total from last year which was his debut season in MLS. 

It was an evening to forget between sticks for Chris Brady. The 21-year-old is in his third year as the full-time keeper with his squad as he has started in all 10 contests during the campaign. In 2025, Brady currently possesses a 61.4 save percentage while conceding an average of 2.2 goals per game.

Orlando City SC Preview

Oscar Pareja’s men continue to resume their unbeaten run, defeating Atlanta United 3-0. With this marvellous form by Orlando, they are now only three points back from third place in the congested Eastern Conference standings. 

With his brilliant display on the pitch over the previous weekend, Marco Pasalic earned the Player of the Match honours. In his 86-minute outing, the internationally capped Croatian cataloged a goal and an assist versus Atlanta United. Pasalic is fitting in nicely with his first taste of MLS as he has obtained five goals and two assists in his first career 10 starts in the competition. 

Ex-Atalanta Serie A forward Luis Muriel snapped his three-game goalless run by hitting the back of the net from the penalty spot in the 42nd minute. The 32-year-old is participating in MLS for the second year, which has seen him log four goals in 2025, just one shy of last year’s total. He could be a threat once again on the pitch, as he is averaging 3.72 shots taken per 90 minutes.

Chicago Fire FC vs. Orlando City SC - My Pick

Despite Orlando racking up clean sheets as they have gone four straight contests without conceding a goal, we feel on Saturday Chicago will buck the trend. The Fire have registered a goal in three of their four matches played at home this season. Overall Chicago has witnessed nine out of their 10 games this year resulting in both clubs getting onto the scoresheet. Meanwhile, Orlando has scored in three of their five away trips in 2025. Overall head-to-head this fixture has seen both clubs breaching each other’s keepers in eight of the previous 11 meetings, we feel this matchup will once again materialize in both teams scoring.
