Orlando City is in Chicago for their first road match of the season as they take on the Fire.
The starting 11 is largely the same as opening week with one key change -- Nani will get his first start as a Lion. He will replace Chris Mueller in the forward pairing with Tesho Akindele. Look for Mueller to provide a spark off the bench if needed.
In goal, Brian Rowe will get his second start after his debut last Saturday. He made four saves in the draw against NYCFC.
His three-man backline will remain the same with Alex De John, Shane O’Neill, and Kamal Miller holding it down ahead of him.
The midfield of Danilo Acosta, Sebas Méndez, Sacha Kljestan, Will Johnson, and Kyle Smith will look to build off their strong start.
Dom Dwyer remains an option off the bench this week. Dwyer entered the match against NYCFC and immediately provided the assist on Akindele’s equalizer. Ruan, also on the bench, returns from an injury sustained in the preseason.
Starting XI presented by Orlando Health: Rowe, De John, O’Neill, Miller, Acosta, Méndez, Kljestan (C), Johnson, Smith, Nani, Akindele.
Bench: Ranjitsingh, Ascues, Rosell, Mueller, Colmán, Dwyer, Ruan.
