Columbus Crew's equivalent sample shows eight wins, four draws and eight losses, with 29 scored and 27 conceded. Recent weeks have swung between big wins, like the 3-0 over Colorado, and shakier losses such as the 1-3 to New England.

Neither side has strung together a settled run of form lately.

History Between These Two

These sides have met a dozen times since 2021, and it's been fairly even, with wins shared across the years. Miami won 5-1 last year, but Columbus have had their moments too, including a 3-2 win in the Leagues Cup.

Just last month they played out a 2-2 draw, continuing a pattern where meetings between these two rarely stay quiet. Plenty of past H2H results have finished with three or more goals on the night.

Goals have been a running theme whenever these two meet.

League Table Gap

Inter Miami currently sit third with 46 points from 26 games, built on 12 wins and a healthy goal difference. Columbus Crew are down in thirteenth on 26 points, with 14 losses in the same number of matches.

Squad Situations

Miami have a lengthy absentee list here, with several players away on international duty including Caicedo, Delinois, Galarza, Pinter and St.Clair. Segovia, Silvetti and Allende are also out through injury, though Messi and Suárez remain the headline men, having scored 32 goals between them this season.

Columbus have their own gaps, missing Abou Ali through a knee issue and losing Hagen, Moreira and Tapia to international call-ups. Aliyu, Bangoura, Camacho and Giaccone are all listed as doubts, so their squad isn't at full strength either.

Both teams could be missing key faces, which adds a bit of uncertainty to how the game opens up.

Goals Look The Way To Go

Across their last 20 matches, Miami have gone over 2.5 combined goals in the vast majority of games, with big wins like the 7-1 over Montreal and high-scoring affairs such as 3-4 and 2-3 popping up regularly.

Columbus haven't been far behind, with well over half their recent matches also producing three or more goals. Their head-to-head history with Miami follows the same pattern, including that 2-2 meeting just five weeks ago.
