We said: Columbus Crew 1-0 Chicago Fire

 Columbus have as much momentum heading into this encounter as one could hope for, while the Fire seem to have lost all of theirs, not to mention the fact that several key players seem to be playing hurt for them which has impacted their performances of late. The Fire have failed to find the back of the net in their last three visits to Columbus, and they have not been consistently sharp in the final third all season. Read more.
