Table-toppers Inter Miami eye big win over struggling Chicago Fire.
Two teams with contrasting forms, set apart by 25 points in Major League Soccer, lock horns at Chase Stadium in Florida.
Despite the absence of their captain Lionel Messi, who was bound by international duty with Argentina at the Copa America, Inter Miami have fared well by winning seven of their previous 10 matches. Leonardo Campana, Federico Redondo and Robert Taylor have risen to the occasion and delivered when it mattered most in the absence of their strike duo of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Chicago Fire, who currently find themselves third from the bottom of the Eastern Conference table, will look to extend their winning streak. With four victories, three defeats and three draws, the Chicago-based outfit will be keen to pull off an upset by defeating the table-toppers Inter Miami in their own backyard.
This is set to be an interesting contest as both Inter Miami and Chicago Fire come in after winning their previous fixtures against Toronto and Cincinnati respectively.
Kickoff:
Sunday, 21 July 2024 at 5:00 AM IST
Location: Chase Stadium, Florida, USA
Form:
Inter Miami (in all competitions): W-L-W-W-W
Chicago Fire (in all competitions): W-D-L-W-L
Players to Watch:
Leonardo Campana (Inter Miami)
One of the top goalscorers for Inter Miami this season, Campana has been in sublime form over the last couple of matches.
The Ecuadorian international stepped up for his side in the absence of their strike duo Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, who were on international duty. Campana has found the back of the net five times in his 21 appearances for the Florida-based outfit.
Hugo Cuypers (Chicago Fire)
The Belgian international Hugo Cuypers provided a vital assist in Chicago’s win over 10-man FC Cincinnati in their previous fixture. One of the top goalscorers for Chicago this season, Cuypers has netted nine goals and provided two assists in his 24 appearances for the club.
The former Belgian Cup winner will have to step up and lead the goalscoring charge for his team amidst times of despair and chaos.

Match predictions for Inter Miami vs Chicago Fire:
Despite contrasting forms, Chicago have dominated the Herons in their previous encounters. They have a far better record against the table-toppers. Also, the hosts are coming straight from defeating Cincinnati, the same team that thrashed Inter Miami recently.
However, the quality of players in the Inter Miami squad cannot be undermined, especially after the arrival of Luis Suarez. We are expecting a narrow win for Inter Miami over Chicago Fire.
Predictions: Inter Miami 3-2 Chicago Fire
