Sporting KC met a really bad loss at home against LAFC and proved that they are going through a rough patch lately. They will now remain at home for their next match, where they will play host to Chicago on Saturday. Chicago destroyed Atlanta in their last match but have been in similar form.

Sporting KC (4-7-7) are coming into this match after suffering a massive 5-1 loss at home against LAFC. They pretty much fell apart in the second half and were unable to stay competitive. They have been in bad shape lately with just one win in their last seven matches in all competitions (1-4-2). They are dead-last in the Western Conference with 19 points. They have a balanced 3-3-3 record at home, where they have won just one of their last seven (1-4-3).
Chicago Fire (5-7-7) destroyed Atlanta United by a massive 1-5 at home in their last match, scoring all five goals in the first half. They really needed that win, as prior to that they were win-less in seven (0-4-3). Chicago are sitting at the 9th spot of the Eastern Conference with 22 points, one behind the playoffs. However, they are the only team in the MLS to not have won a single away match so far in the season (0-6-3).

Sporting KC have dominated this match-up in recent years, winning four of the last five against Chicago. They have also been excellent as hosts, winning each of the last three here and losing just two of the last 15 matches in this venue (6-2-7). There should be goals in this match, so I am going with the Over 3 here.
