Chicago sit tenth in the Eastern table, accumulating 32 points from 23 games. Fire have picked up nine wins, suffered nine defeats, and have drawn five times.

New York Red Bulls are a point and a place above Chicago in the table. They have also won nine and lost nine, suffering from inconsistency all year. Still, both clubs will fancy their chances of finishing in the playoffs.

Chicago’s form is poor, winning just two of their last seven in MLS. However, the Men in Red have taken four points from their last two matches, drawing with Atlanta United and beating Montreal.

Red Bulls crashed to an embarrassing 5-1 home reverse to Inter Miami last weekend. Metro are struggling, picking up one win in seven and taking a mere six points from the last 21 on offer.
