Fire scouting report
Chicago Fire at San Jose Earthquakes
When: 6 p.m. at Buck Shaw Stadium
What: U.S. Open Cup play-in match
TV: none
Scouting the Fire: The Fire is reeling, having gone eight MLS matches without a win. The club would be happy to get a win Tuesday night, even if it doesn’t count in the league standings. Expect to see lineup changes, considering the team just played Saturday night on the other side of the country in Philadelphia.
Scouting the San Jose Earthquakes: San Jose is unbeaten in its last three league matches, but teams often mix up their lineups for Open Cup games to give their regulars a rest. They’ll meet again Saturday at Toyota Park.
Next game: Saturday vs. San Jose
