The home team is winless in the last nine games

Chicago Fire’s dismal start to the season continued on Wednesday at Soldier Field as they were only able to draw 1-1 with Orlando City.

Chicago Fire’s difficulties in front of goal have contributed to their slow start to the season. With just 15 goals scored thus far, they now hold the second-worst offensive performance in Major League Soccer (MLS), with only the dreary New England Revolution (9 scoring fewer).

Compared to their hosts, LA Galaxy are enjoying a far better season; after 16 games, they are presently second in the Western Conference with 28 points.

After two straight wins over Houston and Dallas, the Galaxy have now gone six games without a loss. They have drawn four of their previous five games.

When Greg Vanney’s team visits Soldier Field on Saturday, they’ll be trying to win three straight games. The Los Angeles team, who last lost to the Fire 14 years ago, has consistently won this matchup.

Kick-off:

2 June 2024; 6 a.m. (IST)

Stadium: Soldier Field

Form

Chicago Fire: L-L-L-L-D-D

Chicago vs LA Galaxy: Betting tips and odds

Dejan Jovejlic’s chances of scoring at any time will be slim, but not impossible. The odds suggest that the Serbian goal scorer has a 31.25% chance of scoring on June 2. Even though the bookies don’t think LA Galaxy will win, they still have a 37.6% chance of taking home the three points.

Before kickoff, Chicago Fire maintains a 38.4% win probability, making Klopas’ team the clear favourite.

Injury and team news

Former Silkeborg player Tobias Salquist and 28-year-old Chase Gasper, who are still sidelined, will not be available for Chicago.

Cuypers is anticipated to play as Tom Barlow’s offensive partner when the Men in Red take on LA Galaxy, and he will be looking to make it two goals in a row.

With Joseph Paintsil out for the fourth straight game due to a hamstring injury that will keep him out until next month, the Galaxy will be missing just one player going into this encounter.

Dejan Joveljic will look to increase his score when he leads the scoring column once more on Saturday, following his brace against Dallas.
