Seattle Sounders at Chicago Fire 3/16/19 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Chicago Fire failed to taste victory in their second match of the season and will now remain at home for their next assignment. They will play host to the Seattle Sounders who have successfully won both matches so far and are really hot right now.

Chicago Fire (0-1-1) played a really bad match at home against Orlando City last week but still managed to hold out for a 1-1 draw. After a goal-less first half it was Orlando who took the lead at the 47th minute and Chicago were left with 10 men at the 64th . But they pulled even at the 5th minute of stoppage time with Sapong for the final 1-1. They are now 8th in the Eastern Conference with 1 point. Seattle (2-0-0) picked up where they left off last season and have won both matches so far. After a 1-4 against Cincinnati in the opener, the Sounders doubled their wins with a nice 0-2 against Colorado last week. They scored both goals in the first eight minutes of that match but had to play strong defense in the rest of the game. They have won six of their last eight away matches dating back to last season.
