The Story:

The Lions will jump back into regular-season play after a league-wide pause for the Leagues Cup tournament.

The Lions last regular-season match resulted in a 2-1 victory against Atlanta United FC on July 15th at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Sunday's match will serve as the second meeting between the Lions and the Fire in the 2023 campaign. Earlier in the season, City earned a 3-1 victory at Exploria Stadium thanks to a brace from Facundo Torres and a goal from Ramiro Enrique.

Quote of the Week:

"Earlier this season, we had a good result, and that context is good to have some ideas on how we can approach the game. What's most important for us is to focus on the present on this final road, not just against Chicago but also on the games that are to come. Mentally and physically, we have to be prepared. Tactically we have an idea of the game, and the players know the model that we have developed, and we have to be efficient with that."
