Chicago Fire and Montreal lock horns at Soldier Field on Saturday in MLS, as the hosts look to continue their winning run. Having begun their 2025 top-flight campaign with a crushing 4-2 loss to Columbus Crew, the Men in Red have been on the up since then.
They drew 2-2 against DC United before seeing off FC Dallas, Toronto and Vancouver Whitecaps in succession.
Such a brilliant upturn in form has seen them climb up to fifth in the Eastern Conference with 10 points in five games, tied with Charlotte, Inter Miami and Nashville.
Meanwhile, Montreal are winless in the new season, losing four of five games. They had a goalless stalemate with DC United on matchday four, earning them a point across the board.

Nonetheless, the Canadian outfit remain last in the Eastern Conference, behind New England and Toronto by virtue of goal difference. Head coach Laurent Courtois was sacked earlier this week for their poor run of form, with Marco Donadel coming in as the interim boss.
