    Chicago Fire vs Santos Laguna predicted lineups Leagues Cup

    Chicago Fire host Santos Laguna as a 63% Kalshi favorite, but the value sits in a goals market that expects both sides to find the net.

    Kalshi prices the Fire as a 63% favorite at SeatGeek Stadium, with home advantage and tempo control in their favor. Santos Laguna sits at 18%, while a 20% chance exists that this goes level to a penalty shootout. This is Chicago’s second of three Phase One games, each one critical in the race for knockout qualification.

    How Leagues Cup Phase One works

    Every club in the Leagues Cup plays three cross-league games, MLS against Liga MX. There are no draws. If the score is level after 90 minutes, the game goes straight to a penalty shootout, and the winner banks two points while the loser takes one. The top four MLS teams and the top four Liga MX teams then advance to the knockout rounds.
