2022 season Major League Soccer
Round 17 SeatGeek Stadium
Start time: 2022-06-30 08:00:00
At 8 o'clock on June 30, 2022, the 17th round of the Major League Soccer League started. This round will be played by the Chicago Fire. against Philadelphia Union. The Chicago Fire has been in a sluggish state recently, coupled with serious attrition, it should not be overestimated even if they are sitting at home.
The Chicago Fire has been ranked at the bottom in the past two seasons. You can imagine the strength of the team.
The team still has no improvement this season. Since the start of the season, it has only achieved 3 wins, 5 losses and 8 losses. In the 12 rounds of MLS since entering April, the Chicago Fire have only tasted victory once, and lost the remaining 3 and 8 games. The difference in the team's state is evident.
The weak offensive power is the most fatal weakness of the Chicago Fire. So far this season, the team has scored 0.88 goals, making it the team with the worst offensive power in the Major League.
What makes matters worse is the serious loss of personnel in the team, including the goalkeeper and defenders. Several generals are unable to play due to health and safety protocols or injuries, and the team's strength is greatly reduced. Facing the stable Philadelphia United in this round, it is inevitable that the Chicago Fire will fall at home.
Philadelphia has won the East Coast championship and third place respectively in the past two seasons. Compared with the Chicago Fire, the team's performance is worlds apart. Philadelphia is currently in a stable state, with 7 wins, 8 draws and 1 loss after 16 rounds, temporarily ranking second on the East Coast. Philadelphia's defense is solid and has conceded an average of 0.75 goals per game so far, making it the best defensive team in the MLS.
Philadelphia's solid defensive performance is a specialty. So far this season, they have conceded as low as 0.75 goals per game. They are the best defensive team in the MLS and are competing against the Chicago Fire, which has the weakest offensive power. , I believe it will not be difficult for Philadelphia United to keep the city gate intact.
In the last round of the game against New York, Brook scored a 90-minute winner and the team's morale was good. And Danish forward Uga has a shortcoming in almost every game. Therefore, although Philadelphia is an away challenge, it is still worth looking forward to.
The Chicago Fire have only won 1 game in more than 10 league rounds since April. The team's state is extremely sluggish. Although it is at home this round, it is really difficult to be optimistic.
