Inter Miami (15-5-4, 50 points) hosts Chicago Fire (6-7-11, 25 points) for the teams’ first meeting of 2024. The Herons will be anxious to put an end to their struggles against the side from the Windy City, as Chicago has really had Miami’s number ever since the Herons joined the league. In six all-time meetings, the Fire have won four of them, including each of the past three.
Things get no easier for Miami given that Lionel Messi injured his ankle in the Copa America final with Argentina. The Herons expected they’d be without Messi for their win over Toronto, but they had planned to have him back for this match. Instead, they’re now looking at potentially being without their star for a good chunk of the stretch drive.

Our Inter Miami vs Chicago Fire Prediction
The Fire’s lack of consistency is a head-scratcher, as this team couldn’t take more than a point off last-place New England in two matches, but went to Cincinnati and earned a 1-0 win over the same team that hammered Miami by a 6-1 count. The Fire seem to have reverted to their defense-heavy personality, as their past three matches have seen just two goals scored total.
Miami might want to consider playing for a low-scoring outcome here. Without Messi and with the Herons still trying to get in gear after getting players back from Copa America, this Miami side looks a bit disjointed. Even if the Herons have Luis Suarez on the pitch, it’s still going to be a tough adjustment to try to generate some attacks without their star creator. Our prediction for Chicago vs. Miami is Under 3.5 Goals.
