The 2018 season has definitely not lived up to expectations for the Chicago Fire. While injuries have definitely played a role, this team is just not the best version of itself at the moment. In the midst of this weak start to the campaign, the Fire now face a difficult trip east to face the Red Bulls. The Fire are nursing a seven-game winless streak against RBNY, most recently dropping a 4-0 deuce in the MLS Cup Playoffs last year. Needless to say, the Men In Red have their work cut out for them.
