Inter Miami host Chicago Fire at the DRV PNK Stadium on Saturday (March 25) in the MLS.
The Herons head into the weekend on a run of two wins in as many home games this season and will look to continue in the same vein. Inter failed to return to winning ways last Sunday (March 19), when they fell to a 2-0 loss at Toronto FC.
Before that, Phil Neville's men kicked off their campaign with successive wins over CF Montreal and Philadelphia Union before suffering a 1-0 defeat at New York City FC on March 12. After a relatively decent start to the season, Inter are seventh in the Eastern Conference, level on points with sixth-placed Philadelphia Union.
Meanwhile, Chicago were denied their first win of the campaign, as they played out a pulsating 3-3 draw with FC Cincinnati, bottling a two-goal lead in the final six minutes.
Before that, Ezra Hendrickson's side kicked off their campaign with a 1-1 draw against New York City FC on March 5, a week before losing 1-0 to Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park. Chicago are rock-bottom in the conference and are winless in six games.
