Inter Miami and Lionel Messi host Philadelphia Union on Saturday night. The Argentinian legend had a tough international break, and he will have a very tough weekend with the Union coming to Florida to compete.

Before Betting on Inter Miami vs. Philadelphia Union

Inter tops the East, having a nice edge over the first rivals, FC Cincinnati and the Columbus Crew. But they don’t have the luxury of relaxing or underestimating the rivals because things in the MLS can turn around quickly.

The Herons have triumphed in both matches following the end of the Leagues Cup and the return to the MLS. Cincinnati was the first victim, with Inter winning 2-0 at home in Miami. The second game was played in Chicago, where Messi and the boys easily took care of the Fire, 1-4.

Right now, Philly is outside the play-in zone but has two points fewer than DC, who holds that ninth spot. Still, Union holds a game in hand, which is a big deal for Jim Curtin’s boys in the ongoing battle for the postseason.

Union lost to the Columbus Crew in the first game after the Leagues Cup, 0-1 at home, but after that, went to New York to beat the Red Bulls and make one of the biggest surprises of the round. The final result was 0-2 for Philly who played a very good game.
