The San Jose Earthquakes welcome the Chicago Fire to Avaya Stadium on Saturday afternoon. How well the Quakes have fared against the Windy City side depends on which statistics you look at. San Jose has dropped each of its last three matches to the Fire, being outscored 7-2. However, the Earthquakes have lost just one of their last five home matches in this series (3-1-1).
The Fire have had an up-and-down season but are riding high on a three-game unbeaten streak heading into Saturday. The impressive run includes a surprising 0-0 road draw at LAFC and confident home wins over New England (5-0) and Minnesota (2-0).
