Following FC Cincinnati’s recent slips, Inter Miami took the chance to assault the top of the Eastern Conference again, and now they must receive Chicago Fire, precisely, the team that helped them the last time.
The Herons come from a convincing 3-1 win over Toronto.
The Fire, meanwhile, gave one of the surprises of the season by beating Cincinnati as visitors by 0-1, helping them rise from the bottom of the table.

Why Bet on Inter Miami?
The host and now eastern leaders have 15 wins, five draws, and four losses, being the team with the most points in the MLS andhaving the most goals scored by far.
Inter reclaimed the top spot at the end of the last round of MLS fixtures, and they did it convincingly. After losing 6-1 to FC Cincinnati a while ago and getting a week of rest, they bounced back to winning ways against Toronto FC in their last match with goals by Diego Gómez and Federico Redondo. They also celebrated the return of Luis Suarez from International Duty.
On the bad side, Miami will be without star player Lionel Messi. The Argentine is sidelined with an ankle injury, but the good news for the hosts is that Sergio Busquets and Marcelo Weigandt are back from suspension.
Nicolas Freire and Facundo Farias are out of contention with injuries, while Uruguay veteran Luis Suarez is pushing for a start.
Why Bet on the Chicago Fire?
Chicago Fire will be the visitors in this clash. The 13th-placed team comes from an upset win over Cincinnati, and they look to repeat the feat and improve their run from six wins, seven draws, and 11 losses. The time to reach the postseason party is running down, so their last achievement could be the impulse they need to wake up.
Talented midfielder Brian Gutierrez is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in midweek, while Carlos Teran, Federico Navarro, Andrew Gutman, and Chase Gasper remain in the recovery room.
They had a tough win in the last game against FC Cincinnati, but now, they have an even tougher match against Inter Miami CF, and the odds are against them by a big margin again.
Xherdan Shaqiri is back from international duty, but he has yet to overcome a minor injury, and they have suffered three defeats in the previous four away games in the MLS.
Final Betting Analysis: Inter Miami vs. Chicago Fire
It used to be a fixture dominated by Chicago Fire back in the day, but the current level of both teams is widely different. They have played six times, with one win for Inter, four for Chicago, and one draw.
The Fire comes from achieving one of the feats of the season. However, we have to ask, how much of it was thanks to their virtue or Cincinnati’s wrongs? The team from Ohio has been pretty poor since beating Inter, and they seemed nothing like their usual self last time.
We believe that Chicago’s luck should run down this time. Go for a 2-1 win by the locals.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.61. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $61 for a total payout of $161.
