    Monterrey vs Chicago Fire: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

    Monterrey vs Chicago Fire predicted lineups Leagues Cup

    Monterrey arrive as marginal favourites in a knockout tie where the goals markets offer clearer value than the coin-flip result.

    The market prices Monterrey at 39 per cent to progress, with Chicago Fire at 35 per cent and a penalty-shootout finish at 26 per cent — a near pick’em that reflects the single-elimination stakes and the absence of a home edge at a neutral SeatGeek Stadium. Both sides enter win-or-go-home territory, where one slip ends the campaign and attacking intent becomes non-negotiable. Kick-off at SeatGeek Stadium is set for 8:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM CT / 6:30 PM MT / 5:30 PM PT on Tuesday, August 25.
