Atlanta United vs Chicago Fire: Prediction and odds on the Match on 17 July 2025
The winless Atlanta United FC will strive to flip the script when they square off against an inconsistent Chicago at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Thursday. With just one win across their previous five MLS games, Atlanta United are four points behind the bottom of the table, and a loss against the guests might see them drop further. Meanwhile, the guests will also seek to halt their run of three consecutive losses in all competitions.

Toronto FC began the second half cleverly after breaking the deadlock in the 48th minute. The match was looking like a clean win for the hosts until Atlanta United found the back of the net in the 90 '+11 minute.

Atlanta United vs Chicago Fire match prediction 17 July 2025
Atlanta United continue to improve their game play with two games without a loss for just the third time since the league began. They picked up a vital point on the road against Toronto FC, and are now five points off the bottom of the log. Meanwhile, Chicago Fire were overwhelmed on their ground, making it three losses across their previous four home games.
Atlanta United have tightened up their defence lately, with just a goal conceded in their last two games, but I beg to differ in this highly competitive game. The guests have been pretty terrible at the back, heading here without a cleansheet in twelve consecutive matches. However, Chicago Fire FC are one of the top performers in front of goal this season.
I don’t think this game will deny us goals, but then again, Chicago Fire can be so unpredictable away from home. The hosts have a pretty clean record on their home turf against Chicago Fire, winning all seven meetings. I'd rather focus on goals this time, as both sides might likely get a goal before the break.
Our prediction for this match is for both teams to score before the break, with a coefficient of 3.05 on the Betway bookmaker.
Our betting tip for this MLS game is for the visitors to score before the break for a coefficient of 1.85 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
Our final tip for this game is that anyone wins and BTTS for a coefficient of 1.95 on the 1xbet bookmaker.
Good luck!
