Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Chicago Fire is 7.00, compared to 6.67 for Orlando City SC. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Chicago Fire's highest-rated starter is H. Cuypers (7.85), while Orlando City SC's best-rated player is I. Angulo (6.90).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Chicago Fire have contributed 20 goals and 10 assists this season, led by H. Cuypers (13G). Orlando City SC's starters account for 4 goals and 4 assists, spearheaded by M. Pasalic (2G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Chicago Fire deploy 4 defenders rated 6.75 on average, against Orlando City SC's 4-man backline averaging 6.66. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Chicago Fire field 3 midfielders averaging 6.71, versus Orlando City SC's 4 rated 6.72. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Chicago Fire start 3 forward(s) averaging 7.48, compared to 2 for Orlando City SC averaging 6.60. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 82% for Chicago Fire and 82% for Orlando City SC. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Chicago Fire's starters have collected 12 yellow cards this season, compared to 8 for Orlando City SC. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Chicago Fire's starting XI is 26.1 (youngest: C. Cupps (17), oldest: P. Zinckernagel (31)), while Orlando City SC average 27.2 (youngest: D. McGuire (24), oldest: R. Jansson (34)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Chicago Fire's starters average 9 league appearances each, versus 10 for Orlando City SC. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
