Hosts to claim the victory
Inter Miami have been in fine form this season. Aside from their shock defeat to Cincinnati, they’ve been arguably the best team in the MLS.
Even without Messi and Suarez, they have coped quite well. Their strong response against Toronto was a huge credit to their resilience and determination to bounce back.
Suarez is back and will likely lead the line, having had a wonderful first season in the US. Despite being 37, not many can stop him.
Chicago Fire have lost three of their last five away matches and struggle on the road. The hosts can win once again.

Argentina to strike again
With Lionel Messi out injured and Diego Gomez on his way to the Olympics, Inter Miami will arguably struggle to know who’s going to put the ball in the back of the net.
However, Luis Suarez is back and is an obvious choice. However, as he’s short in the market, we’re going to take a chance on Argentine midfielder Federico Redondo.
He only scored his first two MLS goals last week against Toronto. Yet, with a lack of attacking players available to Inter, he took it upon himself to get in the box.
A great leaping header saw him score his first, before a well-timed run added his second. He might take on a more advanced role once again, and his confidence is clearly high.

Both keepers to be tested
Once again, the MLS has been full of goals all season long and these two teams have been no different.
Nine of Inter’s last 10 matches have produced over 2.5 goals and seen both teams find the back of the net. Suarez back in the lineup will surely help.
Chicago Fire have kept just three clean sheets on the road from their last ten matches, scoring in seven of those. With Inter’s weakened side, they should have enough to find the back of the net once more.
