Match Stats

Inter Miami:

Inter Miami, on the other hand, will look to extend their impressive run as they visit Philadelphia. The Herons have been in sensational form, winning four consecutive matches and pulling eight points clear at the top of the Eastern Conference. With a 4-2 triumph over Chicago Fire and a commanding seven-point lead over the Los Angeles Galaxy for the best record in MLS, Miami is setting records this season. Under Tata Martino’s stewardship, the team has surged ahead, and with seven more wins, they would set a new league record for victories in a single regular-season campaign. A win on Saturday would not only match their longest winning streak of the 2024 season (five) but also tie their single-season club record for home victories. Miami has been almost impervious when taking the lead, having dropped points only once when scoring first this year. Their dominance is reflected in their pursuit of MLS records for points and wins, showcasing their strength and ambition as they aim to continue their dominant run against Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Union:

The Philadelphia Union will be aiming to surge above the Eastern Conference playoff line as they face Inter Miami at Chase Stadium on Saturday. With a recent 2-0 victory over the New York Red Bulls, the Union are currently two points below the postseason cutoff. A win against Miami, combined with favorable results elsewhere, could see them climb into the playoff positions. Historically, Philadelphia has been a consistent performer, finishing in the top four in the Eastern Conference for the past five MLS seasons. However, with only seven games remaining, they face the prospect of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2017. Defensively, the Union have struggled this season, conceding 43 goals so far, the highest tally for them since 2019. Their recent form away from home has been particularly poor, losing four of their last five matches. They will need to improve on this if they hope to challenge a formidable Miami side and replicate their only victory over the Herons at Chase Stadium from the 2022 season.
