It’s almost that time.
The 2019 MLS Cup champion Seattle Sounders kick off the 2020 regular season on Sunday against a new-look Chicago Fire FC side. Here are three matchups to watch, presented by Toyota.
Raúl Ruidíaz vs. Francisco Calvo
Chicago’s starting lineup will be almost unrecognizable from the one that took the pitch for most of 2019. With numerous new players and a new coaching staff still getting acclimated, look for Ruidíaz to capitalize on the chaos. A cerebral and ruthless striker in the final third, Ruidíaz thrives on finding little pockets of space and making quick, incisive movements to free himself to score goals.
