Inter Miami hope to avoid matching their longest winless streak of the season despite being without their top two scorers when they visit the Philadelphia Union in a 2024 Major League Soccer matchup on Saturday. League-leading Inter Miami (10-5-3), who won’t have Lionel Messi or Luis Suarez in the lineup as they prepare for Copa America, endured a loss and two draws from March 23-April 6 before going 7-1-0 over their next eight contests. That unbeaten run ended with a 3-1 home setback against Atlanta United, which was followed by a 3-3 draw with St. Louis City in the Herons’ final MLS match before the international break. Philadelphia (4-8-4), who also will be without their top two scorers in Hungarian Daniel Gazdag (Euro 2024) and Julian Carranza (ankle injury/pending transfer), are looking to extend their unbeaten streak to five games as they take the pitch for the first time since battling Montreal to a 2-2 draw on June 1.
Kickoff at Subaru Park in Chester, Penn. is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.

Before you lock in your Inter Miami vs. Philadelphia picks or MLS predictions, you need to see what soccer bettor Jon “Buckets” Eimer has to say.
Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. He was red-hot in 2023, going 248-234-12 for a profit of $2,593 for $100 bettors. That included an 86-59-5 record in Premier League picks for a profit of $3,463.
Eimer knows that like Inter Miami, Philadelphia will need to find offense from other sources as midfielder Gazdag (team-high 10 goals) and forward Carranza (six) won’t be in the lineup. The only player other than Gazdag and Carranza that has converted over the Union’s last six matches is Danish forward Mikael Uhre, who is third on the club with five tallies. The 29-year-old Uhre, who scored 13 and nine goals in his first two seasons with Philadelphia, netted the team’s second tally in its 2-2 draw with Montreal.
The expert also has taken into account that without Messi and Suarez, who are tied for third in MLS with 12 goals apiece, Inter Miami also will be expecting others to step up offensively. One player who will be counted on is forward Leonardo Campana, who is third on the club with four goals. The 23-year-old Ecuadorian, who netted 11 tallies in his first season with the Herons in 2022 and finished with nine last year, scored the game-winner in back-to-back matches against D.C. United and Vancouver last month.
For Saturday, Eimer has taken an in-depth look at the Philadelphia vs. Inter Miami matchup and locked in his picks. We can tell you that he is leaning Over on the goal total, but he has two other best bets – including one that offers a plus-money payout – and a full breakdown of this MLS match.
