Chicago opened as a minus-odds favorite to win this Saturday's contest.
Chicago's favorable odds are based on the history between the teams in addition to each club's current form. The Fire has defended well against the Red Bulls in the past, especially in the confines of Soldier Field.

New York Red Bulls vs Chicago Fire Predictions and Picks
Chicago took advantage of a soft schedule to claim four points against Montreal and Atlanta in last week's fast-paced slate. But the Fire has had its impressive days against tougher teams in recent MLS rounds, fighting the sensational San Diego to the finish on July 12. Two weeks prior, the Fire burned Charlotte FC with three goals in 11 minutes. "The onslaught continued for the Fire," recapped Chicago's team website, "pressing Charlotte into a mistake in the 33rd minute. Cuypers jumped on a defender's pass back to Kahlina, intercepted it, and finished for his 11th goal of the season."
New York's striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting remains quietly effective with 13 goals on the season, while teammate Emil Forsberg's brace versus New England gives him a hand in 16 Red Bulls tallies. However, each might find a different-than-usual pitch in Chicago with its forecasted hard rain on Saturday.
New York's spread line is a loser if the Red Bulls lose by a single goal. But the visitors' double-chance odds appear generous when considering just how unpredictable the Soldier Field kickoff could be.
