Vancouver Whitecaps vs Chicago Fire Prediction and Betting Tips | March 22nd 2025

Vancouver Whitecaps will host Chicago Fire at the BC Place on Saturday in the fifth round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The hosts will be looking to continue their perfect start to the season and increase their points gap at the top of the table.

Vancouver saw out a narrow 1-0 win over FC Dallas last weekend to pick up a fourth consecutive league victory after defeating Montreal, LA Galaxy and Portland in the opening three games of the season. The Canadian hosts are currently the only side in both the Eastern and Western Conferences with a perfect record and will hope to continue that winning run this weekend.

Chicago Fire picked up all three points in Canada last weekend with a 2-1 win over Toronto to earn their second win of the season. The visitors now sit in 10th place in the combined MLS table despite failing to win either of their opening two games and will be keen to remain in winning form when they face the league leaders.

Vancouver Whitecaps vs Chicago Fire Prediction

The hosts are favorites going into the weekend's clash thanks to their recent form and will receive an extra boost from their home advantage.

The Fire have what it takes to pick up at least a point when they make the trip to Vancouver but will need to be much more solid defensively than they have been in recent weeks to achieve that.

Prediction: Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 Chicago Fire
