The Philadelphia Union vs. Inter Miami MLS game is on the program on Saturday, June 15, just a few days before the beginning of the 2024 Copa America.
The reason why this is an important fact is that Lionel Messi is expected to be with the Argentina national soccer team at the time. What this means is that he’s likely to miss the Philadelphia vs. Inter Miami game.
Can the Herons beat the Union even without Messi on the field? Keep reading our betting preview to find out!
Before Betting on Philadelphia Union vs. Inter Miami
Inter Miami is 10-5-3 overall with a 43:27 score differential. Lionel Messi scored 12 of those 43 goals, as well as made 14 assists. He was on the field in eight of the 10 games they’ve won this season.
With him playing, they lost two games and drew two, which is another proof of how important Messi is for Inter Miami in 2024. However, he almost certainly won’t play in the Philadelphia Union vs. Inter Miami game on June 15.
This is great news for Philadelphia Union, a team that’s doing great offensively, but whose defense is somewhat leaky. We’re certain that Messi would have no problems finding the net many times against Philly. Can his teammates do the same without him there to support them?

Our Philadelphia Union vs. Inter Miami prediction is that there will be a lot of goals in this game. With players like Daniel Gazdag and Julian Carranza, Philly has every right to hope to score at least two or three goals against one of the MLS’s worst defenses. Likewise, we also expect Luis Suarez, Robert Taylor, and others to find the net, but they probably won’t score enough to avoid losing.
