Best Tip: Chicago to win

A Major League Soccer win on home turf for Gregg Berhalter's Chicago team win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Statistics suggest they have what it takes, and they should be too strong for their opponents. The odds from the bookmakers suggest the same, and when that happens you've got a pretty compelling case. A Chicago win is the way to go, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.
