Seattle Sounders FC desperately need points on Saturday, Aug 29 at 10:30 PM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Seattle Sounders FC come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Chicago Fire, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Seattle Sounders FC head into this on the back of a defeat, while Chicago Fire arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Seattle Sounders FC and Chicago Fire have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (5W–1D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Seattle Sounders FC won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Seattle Sounders FC a slight edge, but Chicago Fire are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
