Chicago has won only three of its 16 all-time MLS matches against the Sounders (D4 L9), though one of those wins came in the last meeting between the sides, at MLS is Back in 2020. All three of the Fire’s wins over the Sounders have come in the last four meetings outside of Seattle (including Orlando for MLSIB).
The Fire have won three of their last four home MLS matches (L1) following a 2-0 win over Toronto on Wednesday. The clean sheet was Chicago’s 11th in its last 17 league matches at Soldier Field.
The Sounders have lost three of their last four matches (W1) including the last two in a row. Seattle has now lost nine times this season, having only suffered more defeats in its first 19 matches of a season once in the club’s MLS history (11 in 2016).
Jhon Durán scored both of the Fire’s goals in their 2-0 win over Toronto on Wednesday after having scored just once in his first 13 MLS appearances. Durán’s brace is the first multi-goal match for the Fire since Kacper Przybylko scored two against Kansas City in March.
The Sounders have failed to score in each of their last two MLS matches. Seattle hasn’t gone three straight matches in a single season without scoring since May-June 2018.
