Second in the Eastern Conference, Chicago Fire, will take on Western Conference outfit, Vancouver Whitecaps at their Toyota Park on Saturday evening with the hosts looking for a win that could take them top of the Conference.

Chicago Fire bring a nine-match unbeaten run into this game which includes seven wins and it’s this sort of form that has really seen Chicago Fire emerge as serious title contenders in the MLS, with momentum building after every game.

But it’s been Chicago’s home form which has been the difference, and they currently hold an excellent record of  8-1-0  23/4 on home soil which includes seven straight wins on the trot prior to tonight’s clash.

Vancouver Whitecaps are in reasonable form themselves as they make their way over to Chicago as they’ve suffered just one defeat from their last five league matches overall. Recent wins over Sporting Kansas and Atlanta United have kept the Whitecaps in contention for a Final Series play-off place.

Vancouver are just a point adrift of LA Galaxy ahead of today’s encounter in Chicago, but their results away from home still require further improvement if they’re to claim a top six place. Results on the road have been mixed for the visitors as they’ve registered wins at Montreal Impact and Colorado Rapids, but have also lost at Portland Timbers and Houston Dynamo.

An away record of  2-1-4  9/13 underlines the inconsistencies they’ve shown on their travels so far this season, and they’ll be facing a tough task in getting anything out of the Fire here this evening.
