Chicago Fire host St. Louis at SeatGeek Stadium on Saturday in MLS, looking for their 11th win of the 2025 MLS campaign. With 36 points from 25 games, the Men in Red are currently in ninth position in the Eastern Conference table, trailing leaders Philadelphia Union by a massive 15 points.
Following a run of four defeats in five games between June and July, Chicago have gone unbeaten in their next four league games, winning twice. Their most recent outing finished 2-2 with Los Angeles FC, with the Fire conceding their lead twice in the match.
Meanwhile, St. Louis are second from bottom in the Western Conference table after securing only five wins from 25 outings and 21 points in the bag. Only LA Galaxy (16 points) have fared worse than them at this stage in the campaign.
Since clinching the Western Conference in 2023, the Missouri outfit have dropped off significantly, finishing in 12th place last year and are on course to fare even worse this time around.
But in their most recent game, St. Louis prevailed 3-1 over Nashville to secure just their 10th win of the season. Jaziel Orozco and Joao Klauss netted apiece in the opening half to give them a two-goal cushion, before Jeong Sang-bin added a third right after the hour mark, and the game was virtually over. Hany Mukhtar pulled one back for the Canaries late on from the penalty spot, but it was too little too late.
