There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Chicago Fire have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Orlando City form and stats
Orlando City have performed here at Exploria Stadium this season with 5 wins from 9 Major League Soccer matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1. The last three games played by Orlando, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.
An away draw last time out for Orlando, facing Nashville SC in a game that ended 1-1. Midfielder Silvester van der Water was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.43 (out of ten) in that game. Water hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 20 successful passes (of 25 total).
A 1-1 draw away before that, with Cincinnati the opponent.The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Orlando City matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, one draw and one defeat (from five games).
A decent goal production from Orlando in their home games so far, with 17 goals from 9 league matches. From these home matches, Orlando City have conceded only 7 goals. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Chicago Fire form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Chicago Fire so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-6 (win-draw-lose).

Stojanović scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 35 successful passes (of 41 total). Late heartbreak for Chicago Fire in the Inter Miami match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.
Before that, Chicago secured a home win against Columbus Crew with the score 1-0.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Chicago Fire when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing six times, drawing zero and winning zero games.
