Chicago Fire are welcoming New England for another important game after their 0-0 result against Los Angeles FC.

It's no vacation for neither Chicago Fire nor New England as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This pitch has grass, which is not New England's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass New England have performed like this: Played 29 matches resulting in 3 wins, 6 draws and 20 defeats with the goal stats 31-72 (scored/conceded). New England have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
