Chicago Fire host Sporting Kansas City at the Soldier Field Stadium in the MLS on Saturday, looking for their first home win of the season.

After opening their campaign with back-to-back draws, the Illinois outfit secured their first win by beating DC United 2-0 in their last outing. Chicago are the only team left in the competition yet to concede a single goal, keeping three consecutive clean sheets.

Sporting Kansas, meanwhile, have blown hot and cold so far, losing twice and winning once. They lost 3-1 away at Atlanta on the opening weekend before losing 2-0 at Colorado on their next travel. Interspersed between those defeats was a slender 1-0 victory over Houston Dynamo, courtesy of a second-half strike from Remi Walter.

With just three points in the bag, the Wizards are down in 12th position in the MLS Western Conference standings. Only San Jose Earthquakes and Vancouver (one apiece) have earned fewer points than them.

Chicago Fire vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction

Neither team has made a dominant start to the new season, but Chicago are riding their solid defence that hasn't conceded a single goal yet. That could make life difficult for the Wizards, who've looked shaky on their travels and might lose again.

There are no kings here. We 𝐚𝐥𝐥 reign over this territory.

Rise up and let them know: We are the Midwest.

We are many. And we are 𝐎𝐧𝐞.
