This team has not disappointed their fans recently. Last 3 games, 3 wins and they don't look like they are slowing down. At home, they have 2 wins at a draw in their last 3 matches. On home soil, they have conceded just 1 goal in their last 4 games after a 9 goal thriller against Toronto. So far, they have scored 25 goals and conceded 12 goals which is not such a bad record.
Chicago Fire
Chicago Fire looks like a team to beat in the MLS. They languish in 14th place after a string of defeats and draws in between. The last time they got a win was against Sporting Kansas far back in March in a game that ended 3-1. Since then, they have lost 6 games and drawn 3. Beyond doubt, the last two months have been a nightmare for this team. Last time out, they held the Red Bulls to a 3-3 draw. After taking the lead two times in the game, they still fell short at the back to allow the Red Bulls snatch an extra time equaliser.
Head to Head
16 games have been played between these two and NYCFC have won 8, Chicago Fire won 3 and 5 ended in a draw. Last time out, NYCFC managed to snatch a 1-0 victory back in 2021.
