Analysis
Both model families pick New York City FC, rating it at 45.5%. That figure comes from league-wide form and scoring, not from anything specific to this fixture — a consensus worth weighing, not a certainty.
The two have met 3 times, and New York City FC won all of them. 3 games is too small a sample to build on, so it doesn't feed the forecast — the 45.5% comes from league-wide form, not from this pairing.
They arrive from very different football. Chicago Fire's last 5 produced 19 goals — 3.8 per game; they scored in 5 of them and conceded in 5. New York City FC's 5 produced 10, at 2.0 per game.
The model puts the draw at 22.4%. Our own measurements show it tends to under-rate draws, so it's worth treating that figure as a floor.
This forecast doesn't account for line-ups, injuries or suspensions. It's a statistical read of form, scoring and league strength.
