Columbus Crew
Columbus Crew are no doubt the better side by recent form and results. They are currently on a 4-match winning run in the last 4 games. Earlier this week they defeated New York City and they’re hoping to keep that run alive against Inter Miami CF.

Inter Miami CF vs Columbus Crew Prediction
Without the distraction of the CONCACAF Champions League, the Crew can now turn their focus completely to the league. With four straight wins and a number of games in hand over the teams above them, the defending champions could be primed to shoot up the table if they can maintain this current form. We like them to continue their winning run against an Inter Miami team without it’s main attacking weapons. Inter have proven they are more than simply a two-man team, yet overcoming a free-scoring Columbus team might be too tall of an order without their superstar strikers. Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew prediction is for the Crew to win.
