Another interesting game in the Major League Soccer. New York RB is in the 14th position after playing one matches. They welcome Chicago Fire who are placed 12th after two games.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
