"Losing just one of their previous six MLS appearances, the Reds have also continued to shine with their performances on home soil. Last seen at Soldier Field collecting an action-packed 3-2 victory against St. Louis City on August 17th, Chicago have registered seven points from their last three MLS showdowns in front of their own supporters. Likewise, suffering just a single defeat in Illinois since the end of June, the former Columbus Crew boss finds his squad pencilled in as a standout contender this weekend."
"Getting Sunday's trip to Illinois underway sat nine points adrift of breaking into the play-off places, Sunday's guests have lost five of their previous seven MLS appearances - a run that stems back to a 0-0 stalemate against Austin on July 17th. Mustering just a pair of wins from any of their last 13 MLS outings, Caleb Porter certainly finds some serious pressure on his shoulders."
Chicago Fire aim to respond after a heavy 4-0 defeat in Philadelphia by returning to Soldier Field. The team has lost only once in six MLS matches and collected seven points from its last three home fixtures, including a 3-2 win over St. Louis City. Chicago have suffered one home defeat since late June and sit as realistic play-off contenders. New England have lost five of seven MLS games, sit nine points outside the play-off places, and have managed just two wins in their last 13 league outings. Defensive issues and recent losses have increased pressure on coach Caleb Porter.
