It has been more than a month since San Diego FC needs to bounce back from defeat.
Standing on the way to do this, there are Chicago fire, who target only for the victory of their third house when they meet clubs on Saturday night.
The expansion San Diego (12-6-3, 39 points) still sits in the Western Conference, despite seeing the end of the last weekend domestic loss of 4-3, Houston Dynamo despite seeing the end of its four-game winning streak. This was the club’s first defeat since falling 1-0 in Seattle on 28 May.
San Diego coach Mickey Varas said, “When we all unite with our beliefs and our efforts, anything is possible.”
“We know that winning and losing is a razor-skinned line,” he said. “This is a edge that is very difficult to predict, but what you can do is that everyone is ready to give themselves the best chance.”
San Diego is having some difficulty in finding ways to win away from home, where it has dropped opponents out of 12-7 while winning the three-match road. Milan Illosci has scored eight goals in the last five matches, including the Team-Card four goals at the beginning of their first MLS in Vancouver. He leads the team with 10 goals this season.
Illuski and San Diego get their first look at the fire (8-8-4, 28 points), above the playoff line at the Eastern Conference, but 2-3-4 at home. Chicago has a chance to win a home league match for the first time for the first time after winning 3–2 on Charlotte on 28 June.
This is the only win in the last four overall league matches for the fire, which needs to rebound even after falling 2–1 in pre-agron FC Cincinnati in the last weekend. The fire was also abolished from the US Open Cup play after a 3–1 defeat in Minnesota on Tuesday, which ranks third in the west.
Fire coach Greg Burhelter said, “We have beaten top teams so far.” “This is something that we need to work. … Against the top teams, I think these are small things that make a difference.”
Chicago All-Star Forward Philip Jainkenagel has scored six times in its last seven MLS matches and is second in the team with nine goals behind Hugo Cupers (11).
