Impact Gutman didn't have a single accurate cross, failing to capitalize on Chicago's strong game offensively. If he's more accurate, he should be able to get an assist against an Inter Miami side which has conceded 41 goals in 22 MLS games prior to its Saturday contest against Atlanta United.

Impact The forward offered plenty of service with four crosses and three corners on Saturday, getting an assist as part of Chicago's four-goal showing. Zinckernagel is set up for more success against Inter Miami, a team which has allowed 41 goals in 22 MLS games ahead of Saturday's matchup with Atlanta United.

Robert Lewandowski - Logs goal, assist in draw Lewandowski scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and one chance created in Saturday's 4-4 draw versus Toronto FC.

Impact Lewandowski had a go-ahead goal for Chicago at one point in this game, and he did add an assist in the high-scoring contest. The forward should find some holes in Inter Miami's defense, as the team has allowed 41 goals in 22 MLS matches entering its Saturday match against Atlanta United.

Maren Haile-Selassie - Logs a brace Haile-Selassie scored two goals to go with five shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-4 draw versus Toronto FC.

Impact The forward was able to make good on most of his efforts in front of goal and kept Chicago in the match. Haile-Selassie should keep having success against Inter Miami, a side which has allowed 41 goals across 22 MLS matches.

Chris Brady - Concedes late equalizer Brady registered four saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-4 draw versus Toronto FC.

Impact Brady made four saves but he did give a late equalizer which cost Chicago a few points on Saturday. The goalkeeper has been solid on the season but has tough matchup coming up against an Inter Miami team which has been inconsistent but is one of the best scoring teams in MLS this season.

Jonathan Bamba - Carrying questionable tag Bamba is questionable for Saturday's game against Toronto FC due to a lower-body injury.

Impact Bamba has started in 13 of his 16 appearances for the Fire this season, notching two goals and two assists. Not having him in the XI could be a huge blow for Chicago, though a late call will be made to determine his status. If Bamba can't go Saturday, expect Maren Haile-Selassie to emerge as a potential replacement.

Andreas Hanche-Olsen - Completes Chicago Fire move Hanche-Olsen completed a transfer from Mainz to Chicago Fire on Tuesday.

Impact The versatile defender played fewer than 20 matches in three of his four Bundesliga campaigns with Mainz, and he's decided to move to a completely different league as a result of his lack of playing time in recent years. Thanks to his experience in the Bundesliga, it wouldn't be surprising if Hanche-Olsen becomes a regular starter in the Fire's backline relatively quickly.

Anzor Mekvabishvili - Signs with Chicago Fire Mekvabishvili has signed with Chicago Fire from Universitatea Craiova on a contract through the 2028-29 season with a club option for 2029-30, the club announced.

The 25-year-old has been a regular for a title-winning side and has earned 33 caps for Georgia, including a start at Euro 2024. Chicago made the move to add quality and steel to a midfield that needed reinforcement for the run-in, and he should be in contention for a starting role once his paperwork is cleared.
