Chicago Fire at Houston Dynamo

When: 7:30 p.m. at BBVA Compass Stadium

TV: NBC Nonstop

Scouting the Fire: The Fire (8-5-3, 27 points) is riding high after Friday’s victory at Sporting Kansas City, the third straight win for the club. Gonzalo Segares returns from a suspension. Arne Friedrich is fairly healthy again but might get some rest Tuesday as a precaution during a busy week. Playmaker Sebastian Grazzini will miss a second straight road game to attend to family issues. Chris Rolfe started in Grazzini’s place Friday and was impressive.

Scouting the Houston Dynamo: The Dynamo (6-5-5, 23 points) is unbeaten at home this year, a good way to celebrate a new stadium. Second-year forward Will Bruin leads the team with 9 goals. Honduran midfielder Oscar Boniek Garcia looks like a good addition.

Next: Los Angeles Galaxy, 2 p.m. Sunday at Toyota Park
