Chicago Hounds vs NOLA Gold Prediction: Expect a tight outcome

SeatGeek Stadium will host this Major League Rugby action between Chicago Hounds and NOLA Gold. These teams have the same accumulated points this season. Which side moves ahead here?

The Chicago Hounds lost to the Houston SaberCats last time out in the league, losing 23-22. However, this team lost to Old Glory DC in one other encounter, ending 21-22. However, the prior games of this side, in addition to those losses, saw them defeat NOLA Gold, Anthem RC, RFC Los Angeles, and New England Free Jacks. In Major League Rugby this season, Chicago Hounds have accumulated 30 points, positioning them 3rd in the standing.

NOLA Gold are coming off a win over Utah Warriors, a 21-14 encounter. The previous encounters to that win did see this side secure successive wins against Seattle Seawolves and Anthem RC. Despite those runs of games, NOLA Gold still lost to the San Diego Legion and the Miami Sharks. This season, NOLA Gold activated 30 points from 10 matches, positioning them 2nd in the standings. 

This is a tight game, looking at how their performances have ended this season. However, while looking at how the road team NOLA Gold have performed lately, I expect them to be at the top of their game. Take the road team to close the odds in what should be a very tight encounter.
