Chicago Fire vs New York RB
Kick-off: Sat 9 May 2026 19:30 BST
Chicago Fire vs New York RB Best Odds
Short form guide
The result market leans towards Chicago Fire, who are rated at 50.57% in the full-time probabilities. New York RB are not out of the picture, but they may need a sharper start and better efficiency in the final third to shift the match away from that forecast. The score prediction is 1-1.

If both teams commit players forward early, the game could become more open than the score prediction first suggests.

CF Montréal vs Orlando City
Kick-off: Sat 9 May 2026 21:30 BST
CF Montréal vs Orlando City Best Odds
Short form guide
There is no huge separation between CF Montréal and Orlando City in the result picture, and the draw probability underlines that. The forecast points towards a game where patience matters as much as attacking ambition. The score prediction is 1-1.

New England vs Philadelphia Union
Kick-off: Sun 10 May 2026 00:30 BST
New England vs Philadelphia Union Best Odds
Short form guide
