Chicago Fire game day
San Jose Earthquakes at Chicago Fire, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Toyota Park
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Scouting the Earthquakes: The Earthquakes (3-4-3, 12 points) get another shot at the Fire after Tuesday’s U.S. Open Cup play-in game loss in San Jose. Expect both teams’ lineups to be different. Chris Wondolowski leads the team with 5 goals.
Scouting the Fire: It’s the end of a long week for the Fire (1-4-5, 8 points) that began in Philadelphia and included a midweek cross-country trip to San Jose before coming home. The players might be tired, but they need a win badly. Captain Logan Pause could return to the lineup from a hamstring injury.
Next game: vs. Seattle Sounders FC, June 4.
