The schedule is very tough for Chicago Fire now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Major League Soccer game at Columbus Crew is waiting in only four days.
The attacking power of Chicago when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Chicago Fire's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 25 goals from these trips.
