Lionel Messi has become the point of change for Inter Miami. He made his debut for the MLS club in their first Leagues Cup fixture. He came on as a substitute and scored the winning goal for them. Since then he has aided them in winning every game. He also brought his goal tally to 8 goals in 5 matches. Miami have already defeated 12th-placed Charlotte, 5th-placed Orlando City, 7th-placed Atlanta United, and Wester Conference’s 8th-placed FC Dallas in the tournament.
Still, Philadelphia Union can be considered Miami’s toughest opponent so far. The 3rd placed team in the league have 12 wins to their name from 23 league games. They are also approaching the match defeating formidable opponents in the Leagues Cup. However, this will be the toughest challenge for them too as they aspire to reach the final. They will have the advantage of playing in front of their home fans. However, considering that didn’t stop Miami when they snuck past 4 against Dallas on the road, Philadelphia can’t be too careful.

Philadelphia Union Team News
- Inter Miami’s defense has been a matter of concern for the team and fans. Their final third and midfield solved itself after Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba quickly settled into the team. Hence, there is no doubt that the trio will start the game.
- Their defense could’ve become a serious problem for them against Dallas when they conceded 4 goals. However, they can still take comfort in the fact that they have finally kept a clean sheet in the last match. Hence, the coach could line up the same defense line.
- A 4-0 win against 12th-placed Charlotte was something of an achievement for Miami. Hence, the coach could avoid making any big changes to that starting lineup. Especially the front line will stay the same considering Messi has formed a good partnership with both Martinez and Taylor.
Team B Team News
- Unlike Miami, Philadelphia Union do not have marquee players to lean on. However, their tactical brilliance and team spirit has carried them into the top 3 of the MLS Easter Conference and the semi-final of the Leagues Cup. It will also be a huge helping factor against Miami.
- Their strongest point is their defense as they are currently the 3rd team along with the New York Red Bulls with the lowest number of goals conceded. Considering their opponent’s front line boasts one of this generation’s greatest footballers, Philadelphia’s coach will line up his strongest defense line.
- Additionally, they are also the 4th highest-scoring team in the MLS Eastern Conference table along with table toppers Cincinnati. The coach will look to take advantage of Miami’s shaky defense and line up the strongest front line to put them in the lead as soon as possible into the game.
