Why you should back Miami

Though Inter Miami have struggled on the whole this season, the club did defeat Philadelphia in the first matchup earlier this year. Miami won by a 2-0 margin behind goals from Corentin Jean and Robert Taylor, with a shutout from goalkeeper Drake Callender. Inter Miami have a strongly above-average save percentage (74.2%) this season, and Callender leads all of MLS with 66 saves. 

The club also has a veteran standout in Josef Martinez, who is a former MLS MVP and one of only a dozen players in league history to eclipse 100 career goals. Martinez scored in Miami's last match against New England and is an offensive force that can put pressure on Philadelphia's backline. See which team to pick here.
