Chicago Fire have won three straight; Inter Miami have taken 8 points from their last five. Form gives little away going into this MLS tie.
H. Cuypers has been Chicago Fire's spearhead, with 13 goals and 0 assists in 11 appearances, averaging 2.00 shots on target per game. L. Suárez has been Inter Miami's main threat, with 9 goals and 2 assists in 17 appearances, averaging 1.00 shots on target per game.
Both sets of fans can dream here: this is two in-form sides on a collision course. Chicago Fire come in on a W-W-W-L-L run, Inter Miami have gone D-L-D-W-W, and neither will fear the other. When form meets form like this, something has to give, and whichever way it breaks, it should be a proper occasion. Chicago Fire's home form is particularly impressive right now. They're performing above their season average on their own turf. Both sides are prolific in front of goal. Chicago Fire average 2.0 per game and Inter Miami chip in with 2.5. Expect an open, attacking contest. One thing to keep in mind about Chicago Fire. They're scoring 2.0 goals per game but the quality of chances they create only works out at 1.8. Scoring that much more than the chances suggest (+0.5), that kind of hot finishing usually cools off, so their results may be flattering their actual play. Inter Miami could be in for a similar cool-off. 2.5 goals a game against chance quality worth only 2.4. Hot finishing has been covering for the fact they aren't creating that much.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Chicago Fire create chances worth 1.8 a game (and give up chances worth 1.3), leaving them +0.5 a game on the balance. Inter Miami create 2.4 (giving up 1.3) for a balance of +1.2. On the quality of chances, Inter Miami look the stronger side. they create more and give up less. Chicago Fire are scoring 2.0 goals a game off chances worth just 1.8. That's +0.5 more than the chances suggest: finishing hot. History says this kind of run usually cools off. Inter Miami are also scoring more than their chances suggest (2.5 goals vs chance quality of 2.4). Both runs could cool off at once.
Chicago Fire average 2.0 goals per game and Inter Miami manage 2.5. Combined that's just 4.5. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. Chicago Fire and Inter Miami together create chances worth 4.3 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
Chicago Fire are all-out attack: 2.0 goals a game, but they leak 1.8 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Inter Miami, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Inter Miami have goals in them (2.5 per game) but their record at the back (1.5 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
