Nine of the ten all-time MLS meetings between Chicago and Atlanta have been won by the home team, including a 4-1 victory for the Five Stripes in Atlanta on May 7. The lone road result in this series was a 2-1 Atlanta win at the Fire in May 2018.
The Fire have won three straight matches for the first time since a four-match run in June-July 2017. Chicago’s nine points in its last three games comes after collecting a total of eight points in its previous 14 MLS matches (W2 D2 L10).
Atlanta United’s road winless run extended to eight games (D2 L6) with a 2-0 loss at the Galaxy on Sunday. Only Toronto and Colorado (3 points each) have fewer points on the road than the Five Stripes (5 – W1 D2 L7) this season.
The Fire have kept clean sheets in 10 of their last 14 home MLS matches dating back to last September, including doing so in each of the last two matches. Including playoffs, no team in MLS history has ever kept more than 10 clean sheets in a span of 14 home games.
Ronaldo Cisneros scored a hat-trick in the first meeting between Chicago and Atlanta this season, a 4-1 win for the Five Stripes on May 7. Cisneros completed the hat-trick 36 minutes into the match, the fastest from kickoff in team history and tied for the fastest from kickoff in MLS this season (Jesús Ferreira – DAL).
