Meetings between these two teams usually end level or separated by just a single goal, most recently when Inter Miami drew 2-2 at home with Columbus Crew. This time, though, Columbus Crew return to their own ground with form on the up, while Inter Miami have gone a long time without losing but also without winning convincingly. Columbus Crew have just won back-to-back matches in league and cup, including a 2-0 win last time out. Inter Miami are unbeaten in their last five but drew four of those, their attack still dangerous especially late in games when they score more than in any other period, though they also concede plenty early in the second half. This game is likely to see Inter Miami taking the initiative and pushing forward for the win, because they need points to stay near the top of the table, while Columbus Crew will probably sit in a compact block and wait for quick counter-attacks through the forward line they have. If Columbus Crew handle the early pressure, the game looks likely to finish tight and close.
