Inter Miami hosts the Chicago Fire tonight at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
Miami (16-6-8, 56 points), already playoff-bound, currently sits fourth in the Eastern Conference and aims to push toward the top with four games remaining. Chicago Fire (14-11-6, 48 points) could clinch a postseason spot with a win over Miami.
Miami arrives led by Lionel Messi’s league-leading 24 goals this season and the return of Luis Suárez to the lineup. With Sergio Busquets and Rodrigo De Paul anchoring midfield, the Herons will look to dominate possession and supply their attack.
Belgian striker Hugo Cuypers has been their standout with 17 goals, supported by Philip Zinckernagel’s creativity, who has 14 goals on the year. Chicago will look to exploit Miami’s defensive gaps on the counterattack and set pieces.
The two sides last met in April at Soldier Field, where the game ended in a 0–0 draw. Messi came closest for Miami, forcing a fingertip save from Chris Brady on a free kick and later striking the crossbar. The Fire’s disciplined defense frustrated Miami throughout, securing a valuable clean sheet at home.
Probable Lineups
Inter Miami (4-2-3-1)
Ustari; Weigandt, Luján, Falcón, Alba; De Paul, Busquets; Segovia, Messi, Rodríguez; Suarez
Chicago Fire (3-4-3)
Brady; Waterman, Elliott, Dean; Barroso, Franco, D’Avilla, Gutman; Bamba, Cuypers, Zinckernagel
Prediction
Inter Miami’s home advantage and elite attacking trio give them the upper hand, but Chicago’s urgency could make this a tight affair. Expect Messi and Suárez to find space behind the Fire’s defense, while Cuypers remains the focal point of Chicago’s offense.
Predicted Score: Inter Miami 2, Chicago Fire 1
