They are currently sitting in 15th position in the league table, having earned 18 points from 20 games. The team has shown an ability to score goals, netting 11 in their previous six matches, with an average of 1.83 goals per game.

Notably, both teams have scored in all of their last six games, and 67% of these matches have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for high-scoring encounters. A standout result is their 4-2 loss against Orlando City, which represents the highest-scoring game in this set of fixtures.

Philadelphia Union

The Philadelphia Union find themselves in a difficult patch of form, currently sitting 12th in the league with just 20 points from 20 games. Their recent results have been disappointing, with four losses in their last six matches, including a current run of three consecutive defeats. The team has struggled defensively, conceding 14 goals in these six games at a rate of 2.33 per match, and has failed to keep a single clean sheet during this period. On a more positive note, the Union have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with five of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of these matches. The 4-2 loss against CF Montréal and the narrow 4-3 defeat to FC Cincinnati stand out as particularly goal-laden affairs.

Recent home/away form

Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire's recent home form has been inconsistent, with a notable run of three consecutive defeats against Columbus Crew, Charlotte FC, and New England Revolution. However, they managed to break this losing streak with a draw against Orlando City and a recent victory over LA Galaxy. The majority of their home games have been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of the matches featuring under 2.5 goals. The Fire's goalscoring has been a concern, averaging only 0.67 goals per game, while conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game. Despite their struggles, the win against LA Galaxy could potentially be a turning point for the team as they look to improve their home form and climb up from their current 15th position in the league.
