All eyes on Inter Miami as Chicago Fire travel to face Inter Miami.
Inter Miami take on Chicago Fire in the MLS. Let's break down what our data says about this one.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Inter Miami will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Chicago Fire travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
Too close to call with any conviction. Inter Miami edge it at 0% but a draw (0%) is just as likely. One to tread carefully with.
The bookmakers have priced this match fairly. Our model doesn't see a big edge in the match result market.
Chicago Fire are no pushovers away from home. W9 D2 L7 from 18 away trips, scoring 2.5 per game on the road. Inter Miami (W15 D3 L3 at home) can't afford to take this lightly. Both sides are prolific in front of goal. Inter Miami average 2.5 per game and Chicago Fire chip in with 2.0. Expect an open, attacking contest. One thing to keep in mind about Inter Miami. They're scoring 2.5 goals per game but the quality of chances they create only works out at 1.7. Scoring that much more than the chances suggest (+0.8), that kind of hot finishing usually cools off, so their results may be flattering their actual play. Chicago Fire could be in for a similar cool-off. 2.0 goals a game against chance quality worth only 1.8. 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.
Inter Miami create chances worth 1.7 a game (and give up chances worth 1.4), leaving them +0.3 a game on the balance. Chicago Fire create 1.8 (giving up 1.3) for a balance of +0.5. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath. Inter Miami are scoring 2.5 goals a game off chances worth just 1.7. That's +0.8 more than the chances suggest: finishing hot. History says this kind of run usually cools off. Chicago Fire are also scoring more than their chances suggest (2.0 goals vs chance quality of 1.8). Both runs could cool off at once.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Inter Miami average 2.5 goals per game and Chicago Fire manage 2.0. 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. Inter Miami and Chicago Fire together create chances worth 3.5 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
Inter Miami are all-out attack: 2.5 goals a game, but they leak 1.5 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Chicago Fire, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Chicago Fire have goals in them (2.0 per game) but their record at the back (1.8 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
