Comparative Team Statistics: Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew

A fixture with no settled pattern

These two have met 13 times on record, stretching back to 2021, and the scorelines swing wildly. There have been tight draws, one-sided wins in both directions, and nothing that points to a clear trend.

Looking just at the last four meetings, Crew won 2-1 away at Columbus in September, the sides drew 2-2 at Miami in August, Miami won 5-1 at home in May 2025, and Miami also won 0-1 away at Columbus in April 2025. Home advantage hasn't been a reliable guide in this fixture.

The table favours Miami

Inter Miami sit third with 56 points from 32 games, while Columbus Crew are eighth on 44 points from 33 games. That's a 12-point gap, built on a notably better win-loss record for Miami over the season.

The standings clearly favour Miami, though that gap hasn't always shown up in head-to-head results.

Plenty of absences on both sides

Columbus Crew are without Abou Ali through a knee injury, with Hagen, Moreira and Tapia all listed as missing for international duty, and Aliyu, Bangoura, Camacho and Giaccone all carrying knocks of varying severity.

L. Giaccone

Inter Miami have their own list, with Allende out through a knee injury and Segovia, who has been heavily involved with 23 appearances and 8 assists, sidelined by a muscle issue. Several more Miami players are also tied up with international duty. Given the fixture is still some way off, a few of those international absences may resolve themselves before kickoff, so this list is more a snapshot than a confirmed XI.

What the numbers suggest

Miami's league position points to the stronger side overall, but their recent form sample shows as many draws as wins, which doesn't scream dominance. Crew's away form has produced more wins than losses, even if their defensive numbers are shakier than Miami's attacking threat might exploit.

Add in a head-to-head record that keeps producing surprises regardless of table position, and this looks like a fixture where goals at both ends wouldn't be a shock.
