There are plenty of storylines heading into the Chicago Fire’s match tonight against Atlanta United (7 p.m. CT, WGN-TV, CFFC Live). After a lengthy injury, Josef Martínez is back for Atlanta. Gastón Giménez is facing his old boss at Vélez Sarsfield, Gabriel Heinze. And, yes, the Fire are still dealing with a slew of injuries.
But the biggest storyline heading into the match has to be this: Can the Fire finally pick up a win on the road? The last time Chicago won a true road match—a 5-2 season ending win against Orlando City in 2019—Bastian Schweinsteiger was playing his last game as a pro.
