Houston Dynamo and Chicago Fire are both in poor form as they lock horns at the PNC Stadium this Saturday.
Houston Dynamo have conceded three consecutive losses across all competitions heading into this weekend's cross-conference matchup against Chicago Fire. They fell to a 2-1 defeat against Orlando City last weekend.
Ercan Kara bagged a brace for the Lions before Sebastian Ferreira pulled one back for Paulo Nagamura's men. In the end, it didn't amount to much and although they did play some decent football, Houston Dynamo's form in front of goal will worry the coach and the fans.
They have picked up just one win in their last five matches across all competitions and will be desperately looking to get back to winning ways. Houston Dynamo are currently 10th in the MLS Western Conference standings.
Meanwhile, Chicago Fire are struggling at the bottom of the Eastern Conference table. They have picked up just three wins in 15 matches this season, the most recent of which came last weekend against DC United.
Chicago Fire prevailed over DC United thanks to a 78th-minute strike from Fabian Herbers. They produced quite a solid defensive performance and did not allow DC United to register even a single shot on target during the game.
Chicago Fire have the worst attacking record in the MLS across both conferences this season, having managed to score just 14 goals in 15 matches so far. They have lost seven of their last nine games across all competitions.
