Chicago Fire vs Minnesota United Prediction

Minnesota have started the season impressively, laying down an early marker of their intent to contest the playoffs. Adrian Heath's side's five-game unbeaten start to the campaign has been predicated on a compact style that has seen them concede just thrice while scoring five.

Chicago, meanwhile, have not had a bad start, but they will be keen to start converting draws to wins, particularly in front of their fans. They have drawn all three league games this term at home and will be eager to register their first home win of the campaign. However, their poor record against the Loons could go against them.

Although either side could nick a win, the spoils could be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Chicago 1-1 Minnesota
