Sounders vs Chicago Fire live TV: Streaming, schedule and how to watch

The Chicago Fire have a bad defense, so maybe it's good for their sake that the Seattle Sounders top two scorers are out for this match. In 56% of Fire matches the opposition scores two or more goals, where the Seattle side only allows more than one goal 21% of the time. Sigi Schmid will not have his starting keeper, nor one of his starting CBs, but he will have Alonso and Marshall leading a defense that swarms the ball and maintains possession. That should be enough of an advantage for the lacking Sounders offense to steal a road point against a team that's never beat them.
