Few chances either side, wind playing a big part

LINEUP!
Hugo Cuypers is OUT, but Jack Elliott makes the bench.

Front 4 of Haile-Selassie, Zinckernagel, Bamba and Lod will have to generate the attack with the help of the fullbacks

Notes from Gregg Berhalter ahead of Saturday's game vs Nashville

Mbekezeli Mbokazi had some travel issues and is still en route back from South Africa. TBD if he'll play Saturday.

Jack Elliott is back in training and is a game-time decision. He lost 8 pounds while sick with a blood infection #cf97

It was another blown lead at home in March against DC, but a first win in Philly in 13 years!
Plenty to discuss, including the return/importance of Andrew Gutman, the wild card that is Viktor Radojevic, head injuries, sepsis, international call-ups, all sorts of stuff #cf97 #vamosfire

Goals by Cuypers and Bamba (on nice assists by Gutman and Lod) hand Philly a 5th consecutive loss to start their season

Not a pretty game, some chances were missed, but a W is a W #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

Also asked Joel Waterman about the Canadian soccer contingent in Chicago, and he says having first his sister-in-law Julia Grosso and now Jordyn Huitema in Chicago is really beneficial for having the support of family and friends when you're living somewhere new. #cf97 #withthestars #nwsl #mls

FIRE XI
Cuypers and Barroso both START
Fire go to a 4-2-3-1, first time we’re gonna see the presumed starting front 4 together in the regular season

Looks like it’s gonna be Dean at RB with Barroso at LB, but a flip of that wouldn’t be shocking

CHRIS BRADY is your MLS Team of the Matchday goalkeeper for his 4 save-shutout of Columbus (which was also aided by a 5th save from Dylan Borso)

Per FotMob, he prevented 1.71 xG and completed 10 of 14 attempted long balls #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

MBOKAZI IS DENIED BY SCHULTE ON THE LAST KICK OF THE GAME 😱😱😱

Crew 0

All in all, a good road point on a night without Cuypers where Barroso and Mueller were both subbed out with injuries

Columbus meanwhile make a change of Sejdic in for Gazdag

Sure looks like a very defensive 5-3-2

Cuypers is OUT, Mueller starts up front with Bamba and Zinckernagel

Victor Radojevic is in the squad for the first time

Pineda keeps his spot alongside Saletros in midfield

As expected, back 3 and Haile-Selassie at left wing-back

@acampbellsports.bsky.social reflects on today's Chicago Fire stadium grounbreaking at The 78 on a historic day for soccer in Chicago
Then, the Fire only half showed up in Houston and lost, but half-effort would have been enough to beat Montreal #cf97 #mls
