A victory versus the Chicago Fire on Saturday at Chase Stadium will allow Inter Miami to hold onto their slim advantage atop the Major League Soccer Eastern Conference.
With the Fire defeating FC Cincinnati 1-0 and the Herons defeating Toronto 3-1 on Wednesday, Miami has reclaimed the lead in the Supporters’ Shield, with the Fire two points below the Eastern Conference playoff line.
Head-to-Head
Inter Miami improved their postseason prospects with a well-earned 3-1 victory over Toronto last time around. They’ll be hoping to pick up three more points in their second consecutive home game to establish a five-point lead at the top potentially.
Their victory over Toronto signified their comeback from a crushing 6-1 loss to Cincinnati earlier in the day. Their defensive issues remained, despite their dominance over Toronto. It has now been nine games without a clean sheet for Inter Miami. In twenty-five games throughout all competitions, they have only two clean sheets.
After an inconsistent start to the season, Chicago Fire will come into this matchup as the obvious underdogs. From their first 24 MLS games, they have only managed a pitiful six victories, while their 11 losses rank among the worst.
Team News
The most conspicuous absence for Miami on Wednesday was Lionel Messi, who injured his ankle playing for Argentina in the Copa America. Nicolas Freire and Facundo Farias were both sidelined due to ACL problems.
Sergio Busquets and Marcelo Weigandt can serve their suspensions again on Saturday, and Benjamin Cremaschi has joined the US team in time for the Paris Olympics.
Diego Gomez opened the tally against Toronto two minutes before halftime, and Federico Redondo scored his first two goals of the season early in the second half.
Wyatt Omsberg was out for the Fire on Wednesday due to a minor knock, Carlos Teran and Federico Navarro were out due to leg problems, and Andrew Gutman and Chase Gasper were out due to hamstring strains.
Probable Line-Up
Inter Miami XI:
Callender; Fray, Aviles, Kryvtsov, Alba; Redondo, Busquets, Ruiz; Taylor, Suarez, Gomez
Chicago Fire XI:
Brady; Souquet, Omsberg, Czichos; Gutierrez, Acosta, Gimenez, Dean; Mueller, Haile-Selassie; Koutsias
Verdict
Tip: Inter Miami to Win
Reason
Although many people don’t realize it, Miami is experienced in these games and has won seven of them this year by a single goal. Therefore, this game may be closer than you might imagine.

Tip: BTTS (NO)
Reason
Recent encounters between these two teams have been characterized by big scores and few clean sheets. Out of their last five meetings, only one ended in a draw. Both sides’ inability to score goals and clean sheets have been uncommon in their recent individual games. Even if the hosts Inter Miami are the favorites, we don’t think this one will be any different. The Chicago Fire’s road record isn’t particularly impressive before this challenging match.
