Philadelphia Union will host Inter Miami in a Major League Soccer fixture at Subaru Park on Saturday. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a 2-2 draw away to Orlando City in the mid-week, while Inter Miami suffered a 3-1 defeat at New England Revolution. As of now, Philadelphia are occupying fourth spot in the Eastern conference standings, having collected 31 points from 18 games, 12 adrift of leaders FC Cincinnati.

Philadelphia Union fought back from 2-0 down to earn a thrilling draw at Exploria Stadium on Wednesday night thanks to Jack McGlynn’s 60th-minute effort and Jose Martinez’s dramatic equaliser on the stroke of full time. It was their 11th away-point of the season and the result helped the Union Zolos to maintain their fourth spot in the Eastern Conference, although victory over Orlando would have seen them climb above New England Revolution into third place. Jim Curtin’s men have recorded nine league-wins this campaign and their last success came against CF Montreal (3-0) at the start of this month thanks to Julian Carranza’s brace and one goal from Mikael Uhre. It was their fourth successive triumph, scoring ten goals and conceding just one goal in the process.
Inter Miami, on the other hand, haven’t had a great season this term, recording just five wins, while suffering 12 defeats from 17 MLS-outings so far. Last time out, the Herons lost to New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium courtesy of goals from Carles Gill, Matt Polster and Bobby Wood. Meanwhile, Joseph Martinez scored a consolation goal for Inter Miami from the penalty spot six minutes from time. It was their sixth consecutive MLS-defeat and their last success in the league came against New England Revolution mid-way through last month. The Herons are desperately waiting for the arrival for their new signing Lionel Messi, but club’s owner Jorge Mas has confirmed that the legendary footballer is not expected to make his debut until July 21 when they face Cruz Azul in the League Cup.
Philadelphia Union probable starting lineup: Bendik, Mbaizo, Glesnes, Elliott, Wagner, Martinez, Flach, McGlynn, Gazdag, Uhre, Carranza
Inter Miami probable starting lineup: Callender, Yedlin, Kryvstov, McVey, Negri, Ruiz, Fray, Jean, Cremaschi, Stefanelli, Martinez
