Bottom-placed Chicago Fire return to action in the Eastern Conference of the MLS with a clash against Atlanta United, who currently sit tenth in the table. Raphael Wicky’s men have endured a catastrophic start to their 2021 season and have notched up just a single win in their 10 games so far this term. Since that solitary win over Inter Miami back in May, Chicago lost three straight games without scoring, before their 3-3 draw with Philadelphia Union in the last outing. Although they took the lead twice, Chicago were ultimately unable to hold on to the lead as Slovakian full-back Boris Sekulic conceded an own goal to help Philadelphia sneak a point. Irrespective of their frailties at the back in the last game, it is at the other end of the pitch that Chicago have really struggled. No team has scored fewer goals (7) than Chicago in the Eastern Conference this term and they need a desperate turnaround in their fortunes in front of goal to revive their form.

Atlanta haven’t been flying in the Eastern Conference either. They are tenth in the table and are without a win in their last five outings. Notably, four of those games have ended in draws and Atlanta have the joint-most draws (6) in the division alongside Nashville. Historically, Atlanta hold the edge over Chicago with five wins compared to four. The teams have yet to share the spoils in their nine meetings so far, with 27 goals being scored in this fixture over the years.
