Premium Tips
Two Premium Tips for Chicago Fire vs Orlando City, with Anthony Eadson expecting an open game.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 4.5 goals | 29/20 (Betfair Sportsbook) | Orlando’s away games have been wild. Twelve of their 15 trips have produced five or more goals, at an average of 5.2 per game, and only two have finished with fewer than three. Chicago’s home games have been tighter, but they have scored in all 15 at Soldier Field, and Orlando have shipped 50 goals on the road while scoring 28 of their own. At 29/20, five or more goals looks the bet. |
| Orlando City to score in both halves | 5/2 (Sky Bet) | Orlando have kept scoring even when beaten on the road. They have found the net in 11 of their 15 away games and scored in both halves in six of them, including five of their last eight. Chicago have conceded 19 at home and kept only four clean sheets there, while Martin Ojeda (16 goals) and Antoine Griezmann (13) give the visitors a real threat. The 5/2 on offer is worth a small stake. |
