Atlanta United v Chicago Fire : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Thu 17th Jul, 00:30 BST, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta

Gregg Berhalter leads his Chicago Fire troops to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the Major League Soccer on Thursday morning, with Ronny Deila's Atlanta United their challengers. All of the key stats for the tie, including head-to-heads, predictions and odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers across seventeen major markets are covered in this in-depth preview. It's all designed to help you make the most well-informed bet possible.


Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Ronny Deila and his side approach kick-off, our prediction is for a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the game. Stats imply both teams possess a number of attacking options, with goals in plentiful supply of late. In the absense of a strong favourite to win the match, we think the best tip as they go head-to-head is over 2.5 goals.
