Inter Miami vs Chicago Fire prediction
Inter Miami will be without captain and star man Lionel Messi, as well as Rodrigo De Paul, due to Argentina reaching the FIFA World Cup final. The Floridians return sitting second in the Eastern Conference, five points behind an impressive Nashville side.
Chicago Fire are selling star striker Hugo Cuypers to Mexican side Monterrey, accommodating former Barcelona and Bayern Munich man Robert Lewandowski. Lewandowski should be fresh to help propel Chicago in the second half of the campaign, sitting third in the Eastern Conference – five points behind Inter Miami.
Inter Miami lacked consistency before the break and will be a bit concerned about their absentees here, with Chicago, and Lewandowski, seeking to begin their restart with a bang and they could well be a good value bet to side with here.
Inter Miami vs Chicago Fire tip: Double chance – Chicago Fire to win or draw
