We said: Columbus Crew 3-1 Chicago Fire

 Chicago Fire are in for another tough 90 minutes on Thursday as they journey to Lower.com Field, where they have failed to win their last 13 league visits since a 2-1 victory in June 2013. Nancy's side have been near impenetrable at home since the turn of the year and we see them edging out the Men in Red once again.
