After delivering another winner on Thursday night, SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Chicago Fire’s clash with Nashville in MLS in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Chicago Fire vs Nashville SC (Sunday, 01:30)
Seeking to make it three wins on the spin in MLS, Chicago Fire will square off with Nashville at Soldier Field in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Chicago Fire have been on an upward curve of late, claiming top honours from five of their last six matches, dishing out a 7-1 drubbing to D.C. United last time out.
While Nashville are also ticking along nicely thanks to an eight-game unbeaten run, they have drawn each of their last two matches in MLS.
With both sides in pretty good nick at the moment, it’s no surprise to see the bookmakers’ struggling to separate the pair in the outright betting, with the hosts only marginal favourites.
However, I'm happier focussing on an alternative market with Chicago Fire trading at an eye-catching 10/11 on Betway to score two or more goals during this contest.
Gregg Berhalter’s side will come into this clash brimming with confidence following their aforementioned 7-1 demolition of D.C. United in the capital last weekend.
As already mentioned, the in-form hosts have triumphed in five of their last six MLS matches, hitting multiple goals in each of those victories.
It’s also worth noting that Chicago Fire struck three times during a recent US Open Cup victory over New York Revolution away from home, further highlighting their knack for finding the back of the net in recent times.
On top of all that, the Men in Red also made the net bulge twice when they faced latest opponents Nashville in this season’s reverse fixture.
Since then, BJ Callaghan's side have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their subsequent eight matches across all competitions.
What’s more, the Coyotes have conceded exactly two goals in three of their last four outings, so they are not exactly watertight at the back, despite being in the midst of an eight-game unbeaten run.
So with all that in mind, backing free-scoring Chicago Fire to score Over 1.5 Goals represents a terrific value option at a shade under even-money on Betway.
