Inter Miami vs Philadelphia Union Lineups, Predictions, Head-to-Head Stats, Live Score & Results

Inter Miami returns home looking for another MLS victory after beating Portland Timbers 2-0 in their previous match. Lionel Messi once again played a major role as Miami continued its strong run in the Eastern Conference.

The club has now won three straight league matches and remains among the top teams in the standings heading into the weekend fixture at Nu Stadium.

With one more match before several international players depart for national team duty ahead of the World Cup preparations, Miami will want to keep momentum going at home.
