Welcome to your match thread for a Sunday match-up between Orlando City (7-17-3, 24 points) and the Chicago Fire (6-15-6, 24 points) at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, IL. It’s the second of the two scheduled meetings between these Eastern Conference opponents.
Both teams have been in free fall, with Orlando winning just once in the last 18 games (1-15-2) and the Fire winless in their last nine (0-8-1) and earning only one win in their last 13 games (1-8-4). If this game was a TV show, it would already be canceled.
The Lions are 2-2-4 against Chicago in the all-time series since the club joined MLS, or 2-3-4 if you count the U.
