For the second time this season, FC Dallas is on the road as they look to defeat their Brimstone Cup rivals, the Chicago Fire FC.
Both teams are off to a decent start to the season, each with a pair of wins and some strong defensive output (Chicago has given up just one goal, FC Dallas has given up three).
FC Dallas notes:
Key player for FC Dallas – Paxton Pomykal – We’ve seen some good items out of Pomykal so far this season as he is back in the center of the midfield. This could be a game for him to shine as he looks to carve up a good Chicago defense.
History in Chicago – FC Dallas has an 8-13-2 record when visiting the Chicago Fire with 31 goals scored and 42 goals against since 1998. The two met in the preseason in a game that ended in a scoreless draw.

Chicago notes:
Recent success in the Brimstone Cup – The Fire have won six of their last eight matches against FC Dallas, including the last five in a row at home.
One of their better starts – With eight points from four games (W2 D2), the Fire are off to the third-best start in team history (10 in 2007, 9 in 1999). Chicago has gone unbeaten in its first five games of a season only once before, avoiding defeat in its first 11 games in 2009.
