The MLS season is well underway and Inter Miami currently sit atop the Eastern Conference table. And while their lead over second-placed FC Cincinnati is minimal, Columbus Crew are 11 points behind. Yet, the current form of both is something that can spell surprises hence why pundits consider this game a three-way.
Inter Miami CF Team News
The investments made by David Beckham and the presence of players like Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets have certainly had a positive effect on Inter Miami. This is made quite clear with the team’s current position in the Eastern Conference. But recent games have been rather inconsistent for the team and Inter Miami have not won at home in their last 2 league fixtures. What remains a constant with their performance, however, is the sheer number of goals their fixtures enjoy. All of their last 4 MLS games have featured over 2.5 goals with Inter Miami both scoring and conceding in these games.
Columbus Crew Team News
Columbus Crew failed to win the Concacaf Champions Cup and lost 3-0 against Mexican side Pachuca, but they managed to bounce back from this defeat. This was managed with an away win to a New York City side that is currently sitting above them in the Conference standing. But a look at Columbus Crew’s recent MLS escapades will show us that the team is enjoying some good domestic form – 4 wins in their last 4 MLS fixtures. Much like Inter Miami, Columbus’ games also tend to feature goals, as 3 of their last 4 have seen over 3.5 goals with Crew managing to score in each one of them.
Head-to-Head-Games
A quick look at the last 5 head-to-head fixtures will reveal a slight advantage for Inter Miami – 2 victories for them as opposed to just one for Columbus Crew. The last 3 meetings between these teams produced goal-rich matches with all 3 having at least 3 goals and scoring done from both sides.
Inter Miami CF- Columbus Crew Betting Prediction
Looking at the recent form of the two I would expect a tough game for Inter Miami. Columbus are on a 4 game-winning streak in the league, while Inter have not won either of their last 2 home games. What is a constant between these two teams, however, is the presence of goals in their games. Both score quite often and in the meantime concede regularly. With this in mind, my pick here is for a game with over 2.5 goals and I expect both teams to score.
