FC Dallas host Chicago Fire at the Toyota Stadium on Saturday on matchday three in the new MLS season, looking to continue their unbeaten start. In two games, the Texas outfit have won and drawn once to collect four points and are fifth in the Western Conference.
Los Toros began their run with a slender 2-1 comeback win at Houston Dynamo Amine Bassi had put Houston 1-0 up in the 18th minute, but second-half goals from Petar Musa and Anderson Julio turned the tie around for the visitors.
In their next game against Colorado, Dallas turned around a two-goal deficit to lead 3-2. But Colorado restored parity shortly as the two sides played out a pulsating draw.
Meanwhile, Chicago's season got off on a somber note, as they lost 4-2 by Columbus Crew on the road, having led 2-1. They endured similar fortunes in their next game, as the Men in Red squandered a 2-1 lead to draw 2-2.

FC Dallas vs Chicago Fire Prediction
Dallas have made the better start to the season and have a better head-to-head record in recent fixtures, which gives them an advantage.
Moreover, Chicago have been found out in defence more often than they would have liked, and their backline has been in complete shambles thus far. So, Los Toros should nick this one narrowly.
