Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew
📖 The Preview
Inter Miami have been in stunning form lately, winning eight of their last ten, and their head-to-head record against Columbus is almost embarrassing at five wins from seven meetings. Columbus have been inconsistent at best, losing three of their last five before scraping a win, and with Mendez lacking match fitness they're not exactly firing on all cylinders going forward. Miami's 60% win probability reflects that gulf in class. Columbus will nick one, but Miami look comfortable running out 3-1 winners here.
