Players to Watch: Chicago Fire vs. Orlando City SC
Chicago Fire
Robin Lod — M. Lod has chipped in 4 goals across 17 appearances for Chicago, giving the Fire a midfielder capable of arriving late in the box to finish chances. His work in the middle of the park also sets the table for the forwards ahead of him.
Philip Zinckernagel — F. Zinckernagel has given Chicago scoring depth beyond Cuypers, contributing 5 goals and 8 assists across 18 appearances. He is as involved in the buildup as he is in front of goal, and his combined goal contributions rank among the highest on the roster.
Maren Haile-Selassie — M. Haile-Selassie leads Chicago in service to teammates, recording 7 assists in 18 matches from midfield. His distribution has made him a driving force behind the Fire’s chances created, and Orlando’s midfield will need to limit his time on the ball.
Orlando City SC
Tyrese Spicer — F. Spicer has scored 5 goals in 15 appearances for Orlando, giving the home side a genuine scoring outlet up top. Chicago’s defense will need to account for his movement in the box given that output.
Martín Ojeda — M. Ojeda paces Orlando’s attack with 11 goals in 15 matches, the most of anyone on the home roster this season. He operates as the focal point of the home side’s chances created, and his form is a big reason Orlando remains competitive despite sitting tenth in the standings.
Griffin Dorsey — D. Dorsey has chipped in 3 goals from the back line in 16 appearances, an uncommon offensive contribution for a defender. His willingness to join the attack gives Orlando an added dimension on set pieces, something Chicago’s defense will need to account for.
