Chicago Fire host Orlando City at Soldier Field on Wednesday, October 28 (8:30 PM ET \/ 7:30 PM CT \/ 5:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

No absences are listed for either side ahead of this one, so Chicago Fire should field their usual attacking nucleus \u2014 Maren Haile-Selassie leads the way with 11 goals and 51 chances created this season, with Philip Zinckernagel (six goals, 61 chances created) and Robert Lewandowski (six goals in 1,058 minutes) also in the mix. Orlando City will lean on Mart\u00edn Ojeda, who has 15 goals and 36 shots on target, with Antoine Griezmann (12 goals, 35 chances created) providing a second scoring outlet.<\/p>\n

Chicago Fire’s form has cooled at the wrong time \u2014 defeats in their last 2 games, 1-3 at home to Philadelphia Union and 1-0 away to New England Revolution, have followed 3 straight wins earlier in October. Orlando City arrive in better recent form, following up a win over Columbus Crew with a 3-3 draw at Toronto FC and a 4-1 win over DC United, but a -12 goal difference says their defence remains open at the other end. With Haile-Selassie and Zinckernagel pulling the strings for the home side, expect goals at Soldier Field.<\/p>\n\n\n
