Chicago Fire form and stats

Two Major League Soccer home games so far for Chicago Fire, who are yet to win here at Soldier Field. Only 1 point so far. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Chicago Fire with their four defeats in a row. Not since the New England game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Chicago are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 314 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by L. Stojanovic).

Chicago are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus DC United. Francisco Calvo, defender, was given a rating of 7.42/10 in that game, top of the team. Calvo won 8 of 10 duels.

Preceding that match was the home game against Philadelphia Union that was lost 0-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Chicago Fire perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Chicago Fire as a small favourite), we find ten games. Chicago Fire has won one of these, drawn four and lost five.

At Soldier Field, Chicago Fire has the goal stats of 2-4 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Inter Miami form and stats

Inter Miami, who have the most points (7) away in Major League Soccer, are happy with their away performances in the Major League Soccer so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels.

It's the second away game in a row for Inter, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Cincinnati (placed 14th) in the Major League Soccer last time out. The attacker Gonzalo Higuaín got a match rating of 9.11 in that game. Higuaín scored two goals, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 21 successful passes (of 25 total).

A 0-2 loss hosting Montreal Impact before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Inter Miami in our archives, and the results are: one win for Inter Miami, zero draws and six defeats.

The travelling fans enjoy Inter Miami's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. As opposed to that, Inter have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
