The 38-year-old Lionel Messi has 10 goal involvements in the last four games.
Inter Miami are all set to welcome Philadelphia Union at the Nu Stadium. This is going to be an entertaining round 15 contest of the 2026 Major League Soccer.
The Herons are on a three-match winning streak at the moment. They are coming in after securing an easy 2-0 win against the Portland Timbers in their previous league fixture.
Guillermo Hoyos’ men must maintain their positive run of form if they want to get to the top spot on the MLS points table of the Eastern Conference. They are currently in second place and are five points away from Nashville SC.
On the other hand, the Philadelphia Union are on a lacklustre form at the moment. They have only won one of their first 14 matches and are placed last on the Major League Soccer points table.
The Union will be away from home for their upcoming fixture. It is only going to make things tougher for them. They surely need a change in strategy this time around.
