Why you should back Inter Miami
Expectations were sky-high for the arrival of Messi to Inter Miami, and he has met or exceeded them. He signed a deal for more than $100 million through the 2025 MLS season and the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner brings an incredible profile that includes three UEFA Men's Player of the Year awards to go along with 659 goals and 284 assists in 19 club seasons with Barcelona and PSG. In five matches with Inter Miami, Messi has an astounding eight goals, and the club is generating more than three goals per game with him at the center of the attack.
He scored the game-winner in his first match against Cruz Azul and dominated in a 4-0 win over Atlanta United and a 3-1 win over Orlando City SC. The team's quarterfinal win over Charlotte FC was lopsided, with Messi again scoring a goal, and he has unlocked Robert Taylor to the tune of four goals in five Leagues Cup matches.

Why you should back Philadelphia Union
History is on Philadelphia's side in this match, as the club earned runner-up honors at the 2022 MLS Cup and finished atop the Eastern Conference last season. Philadelphia have landed in the top three of the East in four straight seasons and, this year, the Union have a +13 goal differential in 23 MLS matches. That includes a 4-1 victory over Inter Miami on June 25 at Subaru Park.
The Union have eight wins and only a single loss in 11 home matches during the MLS season, and the team's results have been strong in Leagues Cup action. The club opened with impressive performances in wins over Club Tijuana and Queretaro to win the group, then Philadelphia defeated both DC United and New York Red Bulls on penalties to reach the quarterfinal. Philadelphia knocked off Queretaro again by a 2-1 margin in the quarterfinal, and six different players have found the back of the net during the tournament. See which team to back here.
