I hate betting unders we all know this. I will look for any opportunity to smash an over and a BTTS whenever I can. With that being said, this line should be 2.5 goals, and I would still be the under. Chicago Fire with a tired and traveling Robert Lewandowski are just not playing attacking football. Right now Chicago are playing for low scoring and cagey battles. Chicago has only covered this over in one of their last 12 matches while Vancouver have in two of their last eight. I expect Vancouver to win in a low-scoring 2-0 type of victory.
I know that were all exhausted by the longest International Break of the decade, however, that doesn't mean we can't still find some juicy wagers in MLS action. We're going to take advantage of the fact that Chicago Fire is missing their best goal-scorer to the break, while Vancouver is locked and loaded with their best starting 11. Robert Lewandowski had to travel back early from overseas and isn't expected to play a full 90 minutes for Chicago. Chicago is toothless in attack without him fit and healthy. I like Vancouver TT, but with that being -155, I'd MUCH rather take the ML for the better team, with the better starters, even when they're playing on the road.
Both sides are missing some guys due to international duty. Chicago has had four straight matches land Under four total goals scored, while West-leading Vancouver has had four straight roadies land Under that number. Only East-leading Nashville has given up fewer total goals than the Whitecaps this season. Two older European legends facing off in Thomas Muller and Robert Lewandowski.
