Inter Miami vs. Philadelphia Union: Preview
Match Preview
Inter Miami will host the Philadelphia Union at DRV PNK Stadium on Saturday in a crucial Eastern Conference matchup. Both teams are in the thick of the playoff race, and a win would be huge for their respective chances of reaching the postseason.
Inter Miami is coming off a disappointing 2-1 loss to FC Cincinnati last weekend. The defeat snapped a three-game winning streak for the Herons, who are now winless in their last two home matches.
The Philadelphia Union, meanwhile, is coming off a 1-0 win over the New England Revolution last weekend. The win was the Union's second straight and moved them into fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Team News
Inter Miami will be without the services of several key players on Saturday, including Rodolfo Pizarro (suspension), Robbie Robinson (knee), and Kieran Gibbs (calf).
The Philadelphia Union will also be without a few key players on Saturday, including Leon Flach (knee) and Olivier Mbaizo (ankle).

Prediction
This is a tough match to call, but I think the Philadelphia Union will come away with a 2-1 win. The Union are in better form at the moment, and they have a better overall squad.
