STREAMING: MLS LIVE on ESPN+ in US, on DAZN in Canada
Unbeaten in their last three games, the Chicago Fire are looking to continue to roll when they host the winless Colorado Rapids on Saturday afternoon at SeatGeek Stadium.
The Fire rallied to draw the Vancouver Whitecaps, 1-1, in Week 7 thank to a late Nemanja Nikolic penalty kick. It was Chicago's second straight draw after beating the Red Bulls, 1-0, for their first win of the season. Meanwhile, Rapids fell to D.C. United, 3-2, at Dick's Sporting Goods Park for their fourth consecutive defeat. Three of those losses were by one goal.
