Chicago Fire vs Inter Miami Preview and Team News
Chicago Fire Team News
Chicago Fire have had an average start to their MLS campaign. In the opening 7 rounds of fixtures, they have 3 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. They have collected 11 points in this run and sit 7th on the Eastern Conference table.
After three consecutive victories against FC Dallas (1-3), Toronto (1-2), and Vancouver (1-3), Chicago Fire have gone two matches without a win. First up was a 1-1 draw at home to Montreal before losing 2-1 away to the NY Red Bulls. Against the latter, they lost before they could even take the lead. Right before halftime, they conceded the winner through a penalty.

Manager Gregg Berhalter will have to deal with three absentees, including Chase Gasper (hamstring), David Poreba (torn ligaments), and Brian Gutiérrez (leg injury). Recent form feeds into my team performance analysis, revealing that Chicago Fire have some improvements to do if they are to trouble Inter Miami.
Chicago Fire Predicted Lineup vs Inter Miami
Chicago Fire Predicted Lineup vs Inter Miami (4-3-3): Brady; Gutman, Rogers, Terán, Reynolds; Oregel, Acosta, Kouamé; Bamba, Cuypers, Zinckernagel.
Inter Miami Team News
Javier Mascherano’s Inter Miami have made an unbeaten start to their MLS campaign. In their opening six outings, they have 4 wins and 2 draws. They’ve collected 14 points out of the available 18. The club sit second on the Eastern Conference table, a point behind leaders Columbus, albeit having played one match less.
Last time out, Inter Miami were held to a 1-1 tie at home against Toronto, which was a disappointing result for Javier Mascherano and his charges. However, the mitigating factor was the two-legged clash against LAFC in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarter-final. They prevailed 3-2 on aggregate.

Mascherano has some injury news regarding some of his players. These include David Ruiz (strain), Tadeo Allende (unknown injury), and Ryan Sailor (concussion).
The gaffer will have to organize the side tactically to recover from the second leg against LAFC and be ready for the meeting against Chicago Fire.

Chicago Fire vs Inter Miami Prediction
- Pick: Inter Miami To Win
- Odds: +125 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Chicago Fire 1-2 Inter Miami
The visitors have had a strong start to the season and remain unbeaten in the MLS. Their consistent performances, especially coming up against a sporadic Chicago Fire, mean they have an edge in this clash.
Key players will decide this game. Miami’s Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez will be crucial in leading a dynamic and experienced forward line.
With a balanced lineup, Sunday’s meeting will be decided in midfield. A head-to-head comparison indicates defensive discipline will play an outsize role. Inter Miami have shown tactical dynamism, especially in dominating possession and creating high-quality opportunities.
Chicago Fire vs Inter Miami Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Any Team To Win To Nil – No
- Odds: -278 (20Bet)
My preview shows that although Chicago have been inconsistent, their attacking line (Cuypers and Zinckernagel) has the ability to score at home. The visitors, with the likes of Messi and Suárez, have the firepower and experience to find the back of the net too.
Defensive dynamics are also at play in this encounter. Inter Miami will be without Ryan Sailor, which will affect their back-line stability. Chicago Fire are without Chase Gasper and David Poreba, which will weaken their backline.
These issues lay the foundation of a match in which neither side will keep a clean sheet.
