After just two wins and seven defeats in their first 10 games, Frank Klopas’ side have now gone five matches without defeat and are favourites at 17/20 (1.85) with bet365 to pick up their third consecutive victory.

Two of the last three meetings between these opponents have resulted in a draw, and you can get odds of 12/5 (3.40) on this one finishing all square.
Despite their disappointing start to the campaign, the Fire would move into the play-off picture should they make the most of their two games in hand, and their recent results will give them great confidence of collecting maximum points.
Although the hosts will be wary of their opponents’ upturn in fortunes since replacing coach Frank Yallop with his assistant Mark Watson three games ago, they will take heart from the absence of key men Victor Bernadez, Marvin Chavez and Chris Wondolowski.

The Quakes have failed to even find the back of the net in seven of their last away fixtures, and their chances of improving on that record will be made all the more difficult without their main goalscorer Wondolowski leading the line.
With this in mind, odds over 21/10 (3.10) offer tempting value on Chicago winning to nil, as they have in two of their last five homes MLS games.
