Game Prediction
On the MLS regular season June 26, 2025, Chicago Fire will play against Philadelphia Union. To move into the playoff zone, the home team needs to win, but their opponent is the sole leader of the entire competition.
Our Prediction for Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union
The Illinois club was at the bottom of its conference in 2024. They collected only 30 points, with only San Jose performing worse across all of MLS. However, their rivals from "Subaru Park" had just six points more and also missed out on the playoffs, finishing only twelfth in the East.
Now, under Carnell's management, the team has transformed dramatically. They have already collected eleven wins and 37 points—the most in all of MLS. This is despite alternating wins and draws in their last four matches. The hosts have also improved. But so far, they're simply trying to secure a playoff spot. After a couple of victories, they lost at home to Nashville.
Gregg Berhalter's team plays entertaining football: 2.06 goals scored per match, 1.82 goals conceded. The MLS leader, with an average of 1.89 goals scored, concedes 1.06 on average.
