Inter Miami Team News
Inter Miami enters this fixture unbeaten in their first four matches, boasting a record of three wins and one draw, accumulating 10 points. Their recent form is impressive, with good performances in both domestic and international competitions.
However, the team faces injury concerns, particularly regarding star forward Lionel Messi. The club confirmed that Messi has sustained a low-grade adductor muscle injury.

While the injury is not deemed severe, the exact timeline for his return remains uncertain, and he missed the international matches with Argentina. It raises questions about his availability for the match against the Philadelphia Union.
In Messi’s absence, the attacking responsibilities will likely fall on other players, including Luis Suárez, Tadeo Allende and Fafà Picault. Suárez was instrumental in previous matches as a goal scorer and playmaker.

Allende’s performances have also been noteworthy, providing creativity and dynamism in the attacking third. Picault scored two goals during the preseason and helped Miami secure the win in their last match against Atlanta, scoring in the 89th minute.
Inter Miami predicted lineup vs Philadelphia Union (4-3-3): Rios Novo; Lujan, Aviles, Allen, Alba; Bright, Busquets, Redondo; Allende, Suarez, Picault.
Philadelphia Union Team News
Philadelphia Union started the season on a strong note, currently leading the Eastern Conference with 12 points from five matches, comprising four wins and one loss.
Their 1-0 victory over St. Louis highlighted their tactical flexibility. They adapted to the absences of key players due to international duties and suspensions. Bradley Carnell employed a 4-2-2-2 formation, and players like Nathan Harriel stepped into unfamiliar roles, such as attacking midfield, to maintain the team’s balance.

Philadelphia Union’s defense was particularly impressive, with goalkeeper Andrew Rick earning his first clean sheet of the season. Defender Ian Glavinovich was also a standout performer, contributing both defensively and offensively, as indicated by his goal.
Overall, this season in attack, the team relies on Mikael Uhre, Tai Baribo, Sullivan and Dániel Gazdag. Uhre, in particular, is in fine form, scoring early goals and setting the tone for the team’s attacking play.

Philadelphia Union’s matches this season demonstrate a team capable of both aggressive pressing and disciplined defense. Their tactical flexibility, combined with effective utilization of set-pieces and quick transitions, positions them as a top opponent in the MLS.

Inter Miami vs Philadelphia Union Prediction
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -209 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Inter Miami 1-1 Philadelphia Union
Matches between these teams have historically been high-scoring, with 73% of their past 11 meetings resulting in both teams finding the net.
Inter Miami demonstrated attacking strength, averaging 1.5 goals per game in their last matches against Philadelphia. Their attacking lineup, featuring players like Luis Suárez and Tadeo Allende, remains potent despite Lionel Messi’s injury.
Philadelphia Union, leading the MLS, has a dynamic attack led by Mikael Uhre and Tai Baribo, who was instrumental in their recent successes. Their attacking approach is likely to challenge Inter Miami’s defense.
So, from my point of view, it’s reasonable to anticipate both teams scoring
Inter Miami vs Philadelphia Union Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Handicap. Philadelphia Union (+1.5)
- Odds: -159 (20Bet)
Philadelphia Union demonstrated robust defensive capabilities, ending St. Louis SC’s unbeaten streak with a 1-0 victory, where they limited their opponents to six shots while recording 18 themselves.
This solid play in defence suggests that even if they don’t secure a win against Inter Miami, they are likely to keep the match competitive and avoid a significant defeat.
Conversely, Inter Miami’s attacking dynamics are impacted by Lionel Messi’s low-grade adductor muscle injury, which may sideline him for the match.
While Luis Suárez remains a potent threat, the absence of Messi could reduce Inter Miami’s attacking efficacy.
Considering these factors, Philadelphia Union is well-positioned to either secure a win, draw, or at the very least, maintain a close scoreline, making the +1.5 handicap a good choice.
