Inter Miami will be aiming to continue their climb up the MLS standings when they welcome Chicago Fire to Chase Stadium. The Herons produced one of the most entertaining performances of the season before the World Cup break, defeating Philadelphia Union 6-4 in a breathtaking contest. However, Javier Mascherano may have to cope without Lionel Messi, who has yet to return to training, while summer signing Rodrigo De Paul is also expected to be rested. Even so, Inter boast one of the league's most potent attacks, averaging 3.0 goals per game across their last 10 matches and remaining unbeaten in that period.
Chicago Fire also head into the clash in good spirits after recording a 2-1 victory over Toronto FC before the break. The visitors have impressed on the road recently, winning three of their last four away matches and averaging 2.5 goals per game away from home. Midfielder Andre Franco remains sidelined through injury, but the Fire still possess enough attacking quality to trouble the hosts.
Despite the absence of Messi, the Herons are unbeaten in their last 10 matches and possess enough firepower to edge another entertaining contest. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip, alongside Inter Miami Over 1.5 goals and Over 2.5 goals total (Inter Miami's games average a remarkable 5.0 goals, while Chicago's average 3.6, making a high-scoring affair likely).
This MLS match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 00:30.
