The game in Chicago did not go well, where the home team faced Atlanta and both teams ended up in a goalless draw. From the beginning of the match, neither team managed to find their rhythm. There were few chances in front of both goals throughout the game. Thus, the final score reflects the overall picture of the match.

Chicago is struggling at the start of the season. They are low in the standings and so far, their biggest problem has been in the attack, as they are finding it difficult to score. Specifically, in their last five games, they only managed to score a goal in one of those matches. They are far from the top eight and against New England, they are looking to return to winning ways.

Defenders Salchis (6/0) and Gasper (4/0) are out. Furthermore, the participation of midfielder Sakiri (8/2) is doubtful.

New England’s stay at home was short-lived in the face of Inter Miami, which ultimately suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat. They got off to a dream start in the match as they opened the scoring before the first minute of the game was completed. However, the rest was not equal. In the 32nd minute, they conceded the equalizer from their opponent, and in the second half they collapsed. In the 67th minute, they fell behind on the scoreline and in the final minutes they left more gaps in their defense, resulting in conceding goals in the 83rd and 88th minutes for the final score of 4-1.

They are in a terrible state and have suffered defeats in their last three games. Overall, in their first nine games, they were defeated in seven of them, having one win and one draw. They are stuck in last place in the standings and now want to start a winning streak in order to get closer to the top eight and compete for something this season.

Key defender Jones (7/0) is out. Midfielder Hill (9/1) is not considered for selection from the midfield.
