🗞️ Team News: Chicago Fire

Fabian Herbers (Leg injury) and Chase Gasper (unknown injury) won’t be able to feature for Chicago Fire gaffer Frank Klopas.

We are thinking that Men in Red will possibly employ a 3-4-3 formation for the game featuring Chris Brady, Arnaud Souquet, Carlos Terán, Rafael Czichos, Allan Arigoni, Kellyn Acosta, Gastón Giménez, Andrew Gutman, Maren Haile-Selassie, Hugo Cuypers and Brian Gutierrez.

🗞️ Team News: Inter Miami

Inter Miami manager Gerardo Martino has to choose a team with limited availability. Lionel Messi (Ligament injury) and Nicolás Freire (Cruciate ligament tear) miss out here.

We believe The Herons might play in a 4-3-3 formation, starting the game with Drake Callender, Marcelo Weigandt, Sergiy Kryvtsov, David Martinez, Jordi Alba, Federico Redondo, Sergio Busquets, Yannick Bright, Julian Gressel, Luis Suarez and Diego Gomez.

✨ Prediction

We envisage that Inter Miami and Chicago Fire could well end up finding themselves trading goals here.

There shouldn’t be much in it, and a high-scoring draw looks to be quite a realistic result. We’re therefore anticipating a very even contest with a draw when the full-time whistle blows.
