Inter Miami returned to the winners circle in the MLS with a 4-2 midweek home win against Montreal which helped maintain the hosts’ position in the top seven pack in the Eastern Conference table and Javier Mascherano’s side will be looking for more of the same when they welcome Columbus Crew to Chase Stadium this weekend.
The recent victory over Montreal will have been a big relief all round as Inter Miami had previously slumped to a four-game winless run in the MLS which consisted of two draws and two defeats.
Points picked up in stalemates with San Jose Earthquakes and Philadelphia Union were overshadowed by losses at the hands of Minnesota United and Orlando City respectively, but the bigger picture shows Inter Miami have slipped to just three losses in their last 15 matches overall in the MLS.
Columbus Crew’s winless run in the MLS was extended to five games in midweek as they were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Nashville, making it four draws and a defeat within these last five games.
A 3-2 loss on the road at Charlotte has at least been offset by picking up points in the four draws, two of which were achieved on the road with a 2-2 draw at Philadelphia Union and a 1-1 draw at Montreal.
The wider picture has seen Columbus Crew fall to just two losses in their last 16 matches overall in the MLS whilst collecting seven wins along the way, so the visitors are expected to give Inter Miami a run for their money in this upcoming encounter.
The Betting Verdict
Inter Miami have held the upper hand over Columbus Crew in previous meetings as the hosts have won four of the last six encounters between the two sides and the hosts look the more likely to grab the all-important three points here as well.

Inter Miami 2-1 Columbus Crew
