Disappointing draws against the New England Revolution and Toronto FC followed by a defeat to Houston Dynamo have seen DC United’s lead at the top of the Eastern Conference shrink to just a single point.
With that in mind, some over in the Chicago Fire camp may feel this is the perfect time to play the league leaders. However, it’s fair to say that Fire have also found it tough going in the past couple of weeks.
A 4-1 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes followed by a 1-1 draw with New York City means Chicago are now level on points with seventh placed Toronto (the last play-off spot).
Both teams will no doubt be looking to break their bogey runs however, the recommendation is to back the visitors.
Not only is Chicago a better price but, Fire have won two of their last four head to head encounters. At the same time, DC United have only managed one victory and one draw.
