Sporting Kansas City has won five of its last six matches against the Fire (D1) dating back to 2017. The Fire’s only win in their last ten meetings with Kansas City was a 1-0 home win in July 2016.
The Fire have opened a season unbeaten through three matches for the first time since 2009 when they didn’t lose until their 12th match. Chicago’s five points through three matches are also the most it’s had at this stage of a season since that 2009 campaign (7).
Including the playoffs, Sporting Kansas City has lost six of its last eight games (W2). Sporting had lost only five of its previous 26 MLS matches dating back to mid-May last year (W15 D6).
The Fire have kept clean sheets in each of their first three matches of a season for the first time in club history. Chicago didn’t keep its third clean sheet until August last season.
Through three games, no team has completed more passes in the attacking third than Sporting Kansas City (364) this season, while SKC has allowed just 167 completed passes in the final third by opponents, second fewest in MLS (LA Galaxy – 165).
