FC 26 mini freezes Rivals mode XBOX One

Both my son and I have been experiencing mini freezes in Rivals mode.  Personally I can't stand having to play Rivals in order to get my objectives, but it is what it is I suppose.  How do I get rid of these lags?  I've had nothing with issues since FC 20?  It seems to be really bad on FC 26 this time around?  Suggestions?
