Chicago Fire vs Inter Miami: Team Preview
Chicago Fire’s Performance
Gregg Berhalter’s side has had a decent start to the season, sitting in the final playoff position in the East. They’ve scored the third-most goals in the league (14) but have also conceded 12, the fourth-most. Despite being strong offensively, their defense remains a concern.
The Fire are unbeaten in four of their last five home matches but are yet to record a win at Soldier Field this season. They also struggle to hold on to leads, having dropped seven points in games where they scored first.
Inter Miami’s Performance
Javier Mascherano’s Miami are showing their title credentials again in 2025. They’ve been excellent at grinding out results, picking up four points from losing positions so far. They are also coming off a dramatic midweek 3-1 comeback win against LAFC in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Miami have won their last four MLS away games, including both this season. Their only two meetings with the Fire in 2024 ended in victories, including a 4-1 away win at Soldier Field.
