The 2019 season has been a tough one for the Chicago Fire. After an impressive offseason that saw the club add Polish international Przemysu0142aw Frankowski and former Atletico Madrid midfielder Nicolas Gaitan, fans were excited for the year ahead. However, it has never really got going for the Men In Red, who now find themselves in a true spot of bother.
For the Chicago Fire, Saturday night’s game against Real Salt Lake is simply a must win.
Chicago will already be on the outside of the playoffs looking in coming into the contest. Currently tied for eighth place with Orlando City, they sit one point behind Toronto FC in the race for the seventh and final playoff spot.
