The Eastern Conference has been turned on its head since the start of the Copa America, with Inter Miami struggling for consistency in the absences of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. It could be important to remember before making an Inter Miami vs Chicago Fire prediction this weekend that both stars will not be back in time for this MLS showdown.
Despite being without two of their star men, Miami has won four of their last five matches. However, a return to form will be required this weekend, as the memories of a 6-1 hammering at the hands of Cincinnati remain very fresh. That was Miami’s worst performance of the season, and the sending off of Sergio Busquets means that he will be unavailable this weekend.
Chicago Fire’s chances of making it into the playoff spots in the Eastern Conference appear to be incredibly slim at this stage. They currently sit second bottom in the conference, and they have picked up the second-fewest wins in the region. It could also be worth noting that they have one of the worst attacking records in the Eastern Conference.
The Fire come into this weekend after failing to score in their last two matches and have picked up just a single win in their last five MLS outings. Their challenges this week don’t get any easier, as they will come up against Cincinnati before this testing fixture on the road against Inter.
Bet hereInter Miami will be light in terms of their world class stars this weekend, with Busquets, Messi, and Suarez all unavailable.
The hosts have been dominant in their home matches this season, and they should still have the quality to overcome one of the weakest defences in the Eastern Conference on Sunday morning.
In the absence of Messi and Suarez this weekend, there will be pressure on Robert Taylor to take the reins for Miami. The Finnish international has enjoyed a productive season to this point, netting four goals and registering two assists in 20 appearances.
We could see him playing the key role in a Miami win over the Fire this weekend.
