Seattle Sounders are currently on a nine-game winless streak; the efficient pre-break, World Cup-prepared version looks like two different teams compared to the one that emerged after the MLS restart. Schmetzer's squad desperately needs a win and hopes to secure one when they face the Chicago Fire at Lumen Field.
Seattle Sounders started the match down 1-0 against Cincinnati; this marks the third consecutive MLS game in which Seattle has conceded the first goal. Cincinnati's goal was bizarre, but Seattle gradually improved as the game progressed. They intercepted a Cincinnati counter-attack in midfield; the ball reached Rusnak on the wing, and Kossa-Rienzi slotted home a low cross.
Chicago Fire are experiencing a different reality than Seattle, but fatigue could take its toll on Saturday, as they have only four days to recover from their Leagues Cup quarterfinal exit against Mexican side Monterrey. Since returning from the World Cup break, across all competitions, Chicago Fire have recorded three losses, six wins, and one draw; this was their last match against the New York Red Bulls in New York City, which ended 1-1 with a goal from Haile Selassie.

Our Seattle Sounders vs Chicago Fire Prediction
Betting sites have set the odds even, reflecting Chicago Fire's busy schedule of important matches against Seattle Sounders' poor run of form.
The last time the Seattle Sounders played at Lumen Field, they lost 0-2 to the Vancouver Whitecaps. The Seattle Sounders are in trouble not only because of how they are playing the first few minutes of matches but also because of their very long list of injured players, which includes Petkovic and Ragen, among others.
Our prediction for Seattle Sounders vs Chicago Fire is: Chicago Fire to win.
