Slumping Inter Miami Seek Revival Against High-Flying Union

Just months removed from a record-setting Supporter’s Shield-winning campaign, Inter Miami finds itself in unfamiliar territory: stuck in a slump and desperately searching for answers. On Saturday night, they’ll face their biggest test yet — a road clash against the league-leading Philadelphia Union.

A Steep Fall From the Summit

Inter Miami (6-3-4, 22 points) was the dominant force in MLS last season, setting the league’s all-time points record. But 2025 has brought turbulence. Miami has won just one of its last seven matches across all competitions (1-5-1), including a CONCACAF Champions Cup exit and a humbling 3-0 loss to Orlando City last weekend — their first shutout defeat with Lionel Messi on the field.

“(We need to) keep going. It’s a complicated time… now that difficult times are coming, that’s when we have to be more united than ever.”
— Lionel Messi, Inter Miami

The defensive issues are glaring: 20 goals conceded in that seven-match stretch. Miami’s once fluid attack now looks disjointed, and the pressure is mounting as they slide further from the Eastern Conference elite.

Still, Miami has had Philadelphia’s number, winning their last four encounters — including a 2-1 home win earlier this season.

Union Surging With Momentum

In sharp contrast, the Philadelphia Union (9-3-2, 29 points) have been flying. They lead the Supporter’s Shield standings and are unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions, including a convincing 4-1 U.S. Open Cup win on Wednesday.

Tai Baribo has emerged as the league’s top scorer with 11 goals, anchoring an attack that ranks among the league’s best. Philadelphia has scored 27 goals and boasts a +13 goal differential, second in MLS.

Pressure Mounts for Miami

Despite the recent head-to-head dominance over Philadelphia, Inter Miami’s current form leaves plenty of questions. Messi’s leadership remains strong, but the supporting cast needs to respond — and fast — to avoid another step backward in the standings.

This clash is more than just three points; it’s a reality check for a struggling contender and a chance for the league’s top team to assert their dominance.
