Philadelphia Union vs Inter Miami: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Philadelphia Union host Inter Miami at Subaru Park on Wednesday, August 19 (7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT).

There are no absences flagged for either side heading into this one, so Philadelphia Union should still be able to call on Milan Iloski, who has scored 10 goals in 1,473 minutes this season and remains their most reliable outlet in behind. Bruno Damiani and Cavan Sullivan add further attacking options from that same group. Inter Miami, unaffected by any fresh injury news, can call on their full attacking spine: Lionel Messi (12 goals, 42 chances created), Luis Suárez (10 goals) and Germán Berterame (seven goals) form one of the most dangerous attacks in MLS, with Rodrigo De Paul (32 chances created) supplying service from midfield.

Philadelphia Union vs Inter Miami Prediction

Signal has this finishing 1-2 to Inter Miami. The Union’s three-game home run gives them enough to trouble Miami and get on the scoresheet, but a Miami side sitting second in the East on 38 points, with Messi, Suárez and Berterame in front, has enough quality to edge a tight one at Subaru Park. Philadelphia stay 13th in the East on 16 points, still searching for the form that would move them up the table.
