Chicago Fire vs Montreal Preview and Team News
Chicago Fire Team News
Chicago Fire and Montreal go against each other in the sixth round of the ongoing Major League Soccer competition on Saturday.
Chicago have a long list of injured players in their ranks ahead of this game, and this includes the likes of Chase Gasper, David Poreba, Kellyn Acosta and Jonathan Dean.
Chris Mueller has taken some time off due to personal reasons and will not be available for selection. The home team have scored 12 goals in their last 5 matches, which means that they have done extremely well in the final third.

They are currently ranked fifth in the league table, and possess the wherewithal to challenge for the top position as well.
What will worry their management is the fact that Chicago have not kept a clean sheet in their last 17 matches, and this needs to change immediately. Although they have won their last three matches, they have conceded a goal in each.
Chicago Fire predicted lineup vs Montreal (4-3-3): Brady; Dean, Rogers, Elliott, Gutman; Oregel, Pineda, Haile-Selassie; Zinckernagel, Cuypers, Bamba.
Montreal Team News
Montreal are ranked in the last position in the standings, and this will hamper their confidence in more ways than one.
To put up a fight against a team as determined as Chicago will not be easy, but Montreal need to stick to the basics of football and focus on short passes rather than going for long balls from their defensive half.
Attack-wise, Montreal’s recent record has been worrying, to say the least. They have scored just 2 goals in their last 5 matches, and if this statistic does not improve, one can expect them to remain at the bottom of the standings all season.

Four defeats in their last five matches is not going to bode well for Montreal, along with injuries to the likes of Fabian Herbers, Gennadiy Synchuk, Giacomo Vrioni, Jalen Neal and JA Vilsaint.
Montreal haven’t scored in their last 4 matches, and this looks highly unlikely to change against Chicago.
However, if they pass the ball well inside their own half and give their attackers a bit of an opportunity inside the final third, there might still be something to say.
Montreal predicted lineup vs Chicago Fire (3-5-2): Sirois; Campbell, Alvarez, Petrasso; Marshall-Rutty, Loturi, Saliba, Duke, Sealy; Owusu, Clark.
Chicago Fire vs Montreal Prediction
- Pick: Chicago Fire to win
- Odds: -182 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Chicago Fire 3-0 Montreal
Chicago Fire are the favourites to win this game, and we expect them to do so comfortably.
They have won nine out of the 22 non-drawn encounters between these two teams in the past, but their current form is sure to propel them towards victory in this match.
At home, Chicago have been unbeaten in 10 out of the 13 matches recorded between these two teams, winning seven of them.
When these teams last met each other, in the MLS in July 2024, Chicago beat Montreal by a 4-3 scoreline.
Chicago Fire vs Montreal Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2 goals
- Odds: -400 (20Bet)
A total of over 2 goals will be expected in this game, with most of them coming from the home team’s arsenal of attackers.
Chicago average 2.4 goals per match, which in itself is a huge positive for them. The visiting side haven’t won a match in 6 attempts, and this could go against them while trying to pick up a result here.
A total of over two goals was seen in the last two occasions when these teams met each other, and the same is expected to take place here as well.
