Chicago are the Underdogs heading into this fixture and continued their poor run of form in their last fixture as they lost 1-0 to D.C United away from home but they are still capable of pulling off a surprise result in this encounter. The result means that they have picked up just one point from their last five games of the current season

Miami, the better side, are currently high on confidence after defeating FC Cincinnati by 3-2 in their last league clash – the first game they ever played at the TQL Stadium. Even though Inter are the better side before kick-off, they have had their inconsistencies this season as well but there’s a huge chance that they will be unleashing their talented players on Chicago Fire on Saturday.

For Fire, they need a win to get their season on track and finally start grinding results and for Inter Miami, they will, of course, want to build on their momentum and confidence heading further into the season.

Chicago Fire will be without the services of Stanislav Ivanov and Kenneth Kronholm and they continue to be ruled out due to injuries. But on the bright side, Carlos Teran is expected to make his return from injury at the weekend. Miami will face their rivals without Robbie Robinson and Nicolas Figal as well.
