Fire scouting report
New York Red Bulls at Chicago Fire
When: 7:30 p.m. at Toyota Park
TV: chicago-fire.com
What: U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals
Scouting the New York Red Bulls: The Red Bulls tied the Fire a couple of weeks ago in MLS action and are coming off a loss to D.C. United this weekend. They continue to struggle with goalkeeper issues. The Red Bulls have never won at Toyota Park.
Scouting the Fire: Expect to see a lot of familiar faces in the lineup. The Open Cup means more to the Fire than it does to New York. The Fire hopes to rebound from Saturday’s loss at Los Angeles that broke a long unbeaten streak.
Next: Portland Timbers, 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Toyota Park
