Game Preview
A tense final day of action in the MLS regular season is set for this Saturday. Nashville SC and Orlando City currently occupy the final automatic playoff positions, but a defeat for either this weekend would give the Chicago Fire an opportunity to pounce.
The Fire sit a point behind Orlando, and have the added advantage of one extra win. Chicago have picked up four points from their last two matches, but their playoff aspirations were dented last time after playing out a 2-2 home draw against Toronto. However, the Fire have won an impressive 56% of their games on the road in 2025.
The New England Revolution have already exited playoff contention, but positives can be taken from their eleventh-place finish in the Eastern Conference. They have gone 9-8-16 in the MLS this season, but they have won just once in their last six.
Last time out, they were easily swatted aside after losing 4-1 against Inter Miami. Home advantage could also count for very little this weekend, as the Revolution have lost 56% of their home fixtures in 2025. Meanwhile, they have scored just 1.13 goals per game.
New England vs. Chicago Fire Picks
A high-stakes matchup is set for Gillette Stadium this Saturday, and it could be worth chancing the away team. The Fire bring a better recent record into the final round of matches, while the Revolution’s poor form at home this term is hard to dismiss.
