MLS defending champions Columbus crew will wrap up their 2021 regular season campaign when they host Chicago Fire at Lower.com Field. Both sides have been struggling this season and they will have a point to prove on November 7th 2021 at 23:30.
The Crew has had a god run recently and they will be looking for the third win in a row as they square off with Chicago Fire. The home team prepares for this encounter following 3-1 MLS success over DC United in their most recent outing, in this game we expect the same positive results having the home advantage they will want to finish in style.
Meanwhile, Chicago fire who is only two places behind Caleb Porter’s men will be aiming to make amends coming off 1-0 MLS loss to New York City FC. They had the game in control in fact they got more shots on target than the opponent. We expect a fierce duel as both sides have something to fight for.
Both sides have been on and off this season leading them to the bottom of the league table, analysis on their previous matches show that these two sides are balanced in strength at the moment and it’s hard to tell who will take the victory. In a normal showdown we expect a draw at the end of this game.
