There are no fresh injury or suspension concerns to factor in for either side ahead of Wednesday’s meeting at Subaru Park. Philadelphia Union should again look to Milan Iloski up top, their most productive threat with 10 goals and 36 chances created this season, with Bruno Damiani and Cavan Sullivan offering support in behind. Inter Miami, for their part, look set to field their usual front three of Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Germán Berterame, with Rodrigo De Paul dictating play from midfield.

Philadelphia Union vs Inter Miami Prediction
The balance of firepower favours Inter Miami here. Sitting second in the East on 38 points, they arrive well clear of a Union side 13th on 16 points, and with Messi and Suárez both among the league’s most productive forwards, the visitors’ extra threat in attack should be enough to get the job done. Expect a tight game with goals at both ends: Philadelphia Union 1-2 Inter Miami.
