Inter Miami welcome Philadelphia Union to Nu Stadium in an MLS match. Inter Miami enter after a 2-0 win over Portland Timbers, while Philadelphia remain at the bottom of the Eastern Conference after a 1-1 draw with Columbus Crew. Miami secured their first regular-season home win last time out and are two points behind Eastern leaders Nashville SC, though they have played one more match. Under interim boss Angel Guillermo Hoyos, Miami’s attack has been key, and their defensive performance against Portland was encouraging. A second straight home victory would be Miami’s first such run since October, and they can also achieve back-to-back home clean sheets for the first time since early 2024. Messi has scored five goals in his last four MLS appearances and scored again versus Portland. Miami expect to miss Tadeo Allende, while Messi and Luis Suarez are expected to start. Philadelphia have multiple injury doubts and will miss Olwethu Makhanya through suspension.
"Inter Miami welcome the struggling Philadelphia Union to Nu Stadium in the MLS this weekend. The reigning MLS champions head into the contest after a comfortable 2-0 win over the Portland Timbers, while Philadelphia remain rooted to the bottom of the Eastern Conference following a 1-1 draw with Columbus Crew. Miami finally secured their first regular-season home win of the campaign last time out and now sit just two points behind conference leaders Nashville SC, albeit having played one game more."
"Under interim boss Angel Guillermo Hoyos, the Herons have continued to rely heavily on their attacking quality, but their defensive display against Portland was equally encouraging. A second straight home victory would mark the first time Miami have achieved that feat in MLS since October last year. They also have the chance to record back-to-back home clean sheets in league play for the first time since early 2024."
"Lionel Messi has scored five goals in his last four MLS appearances and once again found the net in the win over Portland alongside German Berterame. Team news for Inter Miami vs Philadelphia Union: Miami are expected to be without Tadeo Allende due to a knee injury.
