Why Bet on Philadelphia Union?

Philadelphia Union had a great weekend. In addition to their 1-0 away win over Atlanta United thanks to a penalty goal by Tai Baribo, they also benefited from the 1-1 draw in the Ohio Derby between Columbus Crew and Cincinnati to move to the top.

With 29 points, they now lead the Eastern Conference and MLS, tied with Cincinnati but ahead on goal difference. The team’s 27 goals scored are the second-highest in the league, behind only the San Jose Earthquakes (29).

Baribo deserves special mention—he’s the league’s top scorer with 11 goals. The Israeli striker has scored in three consecutive matches, tallying four goals and one assist during that stretch, and directly contributing to five of the team’s last six goals.

Philadelphia is unbeaten in its last six matches. At home, they have five wins, two draws, and one loss in league play.

Jamaican goalkeeper Andre Blake missed the last match due to injury, but is expected to return for the next game.

Why Bet on Inter Miami?

On Inter Miami’s side, they are currently in their worst form. The Florida-based team sits in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 22 points, although they have one game in hand compared to their rivals.

It’s been a month full of setbacks for Javier Mascherano. They lost both legs of the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals against the Vancouver Whitecaps, and in league play, they’ve managed just one win, one draw, and three losses in their last five matches.

This past weekend, despite fielding Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, they suffered a painful 0-3 home loss to Orlando City in the Florida derby. They’ve conceded 10 goals in their last three games, earning just one point in that stretch. Their 21 goals allowed are among the worst in the entire league, and they’ve only managed three clean sheets in 13 matches.

Messi is the team’s top scorer with five goals and two assists, while Suárez has provided six assists and scored two goals.
