Kickoff is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. at Toyota Park. It marks the first and only matchup between the Earthquakes and Chicago Fire this season.
San Jose is likely to welcome leading scorer Chris Wondolowski back into the starting XI after missing several games due to his United States National Team duties for Copa America Centenario. San Jose was winless in the four matches without him, going 0-1-3 and scoring three total goals in that span. Wondolowski has had success against Chicago in the past, with his five goals tied for second among all active players.
Friday marks the first time forward Quincy Amarikwa will face off against his former team since being traded from Chicago to San Jose in the middle of last season.
