Following Saturday’s trip to Minnesota, the Chicago Fire reconvened at Toyota Park on Tuesday morning to begin preparation for their next match, a March 31 home date with the Portland Timbers (5 p.m. CT | TICKETS).
The Fire are among a contingent of MLS teams with a bye during this upcoming weekend that aligns with the FIFA international window. With two weeks to prepare for their tilt against the Timbers — who travel to face FC Dallas this Saturday (March 24) — the Fire are capitalizing on the opportunity to fine-tune their fitness and tactics ahead of a three-game home stretch.
