BST 00:30 CF Montreal vs Inter Miami

00:30 New York City vs Chicago Fire
Marking their return from the World Cup’s summer interval earlier in the week as they clinched an eye-catching 2-1 victory away at Columbus, New York will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on.
However, despite being sat in pole position to claim another play-off ticket in the Eastern Conference, Pascal Jansen’s men are searching for some crucial stability. Heading into the summer break with a 2-1 loss against Nashville on May 24th, New York have mustered just a sole win from any of their previous four domestic appearances across all competitions. It should also be noted, the Pigeons have also gained an unwanted reputation for their extended inconsistencies on home soil.
In fact, Jansen’s side have claimed just a single victory from their last six straight showdowns in front of their own supporters – a run that stems all the way back to March 14th. While Chicago might have entered the summer interval in the midst of a sensational flurry, the Fire watched that run come to a rollercoaster end last time out.
Eventually falling to an action-packed 3-2 defeat at the hands of MLS giants Inter Miami, Gregg Berhalter’s camp are searching for an immediate response here. Watching their three-match winning run come to an abrupt end, the Illinois-based outfit are searching for some much-welcomed defensive grit. With their US Open Cup adventure come to an end on April 30th following a 2-1 loss at home against St. Louis, Chicago have mustered just a single clean sheet from any of their previous seven domestic appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to a 5-0 romp against Sporting KC on April 26th. However, welcoming Polish record-breaker Robert Lewandowski complete a blockbuster move to Illinois this summer, Chicago have notched at least a pair of goals in all of their last six straight away fixtures.
