The season is still fairly new and the Major League Soccer table has to be read with caution. So far Orlando City find themselves in 9th position and Chicago Fire are placed 7th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Chicago Fire have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Orlando City form and stats
The first Major League Soccer game here at Spectrum Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season Orlando City's home game statistics were 6 victories, 3 draws and 8 defeats from 17 games.
Orlando City faced defeat in their previous match, away at Colorado Rapids (1-2). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Real Salt Lake that ended 0-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with Orlando City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Orlando City as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Orlando City has won four of these, drawn two and lost six.
Early season league goal statistics from Orlando City's 1 home game: 0 goals, 0 conceded.
Chicago Fire form and stats
The Major League Soccer season is young and Chicago Fire have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
Chicago Fire has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to New England for a Major League Soccer game that ended a draw (1-1). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Seattle Sounders wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Chicago Fire in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Chicago Fire, three draws and three defeats.
2 goals so far away for Chicago Fire, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
