"Chicago Fire's last three MLS trips to Philadelphia Union have produced 17 goals"

Back Over 3.5 Goals @ 2.608/5 in Philadelphia v Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire's recent trips to Philadelphia have produced some fireworks and Tobias Gourlay's hoping for another banger tonight

Philadelphia v Chicago Fire
Thursday 00:30

The BoIS let us down in Sweden yesterday, as Varbergs fell to a 0-1 home defeat against Degerfors.

Today we're hoping to make ourselves great again in America. Chicago Fire's last three MLS trips to Philadelphia Union have produced 17 goals (3-3, 4-3, 3-1) and we're backing Over 3.5 Goals for tonight's clash at Talen Energy Stadium.

Jim Curtin's hosts have won their last couple of home games 4-1 and 3-2, but are four home matches without a clean sheet. The U look vulnerable against a visiting attack that has scored twice in 3/4 on the road.

Away from home, the Men in Red have scored and conceded freely since Veljko Paunovic took charge: 28/39 have gone Over 2.5 Goals, with 15 reaching Over 3.5 Goals. At the back, they've managed just one clean sheet in 15 road trips and we fancy attack to dominate defence at both ends of Talen Energy Stadium tonight.
