We have looked across various betting sites to give you our tips and predictions for the clash.
Inter Miami vs Columbus Game Winner
Inter Miami are bottom of the MLS having played 19 matches. They have lost five of their last six matches in the league and are the underdogs ahead of this clash. This will be Gerardo Martino’s first game in charge of Inter Miami.
Columbus are unbeaten in six and they have won five of those matches. That’s the first of our predictions but they will be wary of any potential new manager bounce for the home side.
Handicap Predictions
Nine of Inter Miami’s last 10 home matches have been settled by one goal or less. Their home encounters have been tight-affairs with Miami’s opponents coming out on top more often than not.
Bet9ja are offering 10/3 odds for Columbus to win by just one goal on the draw handicap market. Select draw (home +1) to place this bet. This bet has landed in two of Miami’s last three matches on home turf and is one of the better tips.
Correct Score Prediction
I’m backing the visitors to win 2-1 at 43/5 on Betking here. The visitors are the slight favourites for this one and it is easy to why given their recent up turn in form.
Columbus have created a wealth of chances in recent weeks and are averaging 2.2 goals per game in their last five matches which affects our tips.
Tata Martino has coached at the top level of European football but it remains to be seen how much influence he has been able to have in his early sessions with Inter Miami.
This match should be too early for the team to reap the benefits of his coaching.
1×2 Predictions
The next of my picks comes in the 1×2 market. We can back the visitors to come out on top at 11/8 odds with Bet9ja.
Columbus were lacklustre in the earlier meeting between these two sides despite being the clear favourites. However, the Crew come into this match in fine form and the previous disappointment against Miami should mean there is no complacency for the visitors.
Wilfried Nancy’s team have controlled possession in the majority of their matches and are averaging the most possession in the league. This level of control should help them against the division’s worst-performing team to this point.
Over/Under Predictions
This one looks set to be a goal-friendly affair. Columbus Crew’s last six matches have seen an average of 3.5 goals per game. The stats show there has been three goals or more in four of those matches.
Inter Miami have the 5th worst defence in the league with their opponents averaging 1.53 goals per game.
Over 2.75 goals is priced at 5/6 with Bet9ja. This bodes well with Inter Miami’s wilting defence taking on an attack that has been in good form.
Our Analysis of the Inter Miami vs Columbus city Game
Inter Miami have grabbed the headlines with their acquisition of Lionel Messi but the team have been in the news for all of the wrong reasons this season.
They sacked Phil Neville after a poor start to the campaign. Javier Morales was then appointed as the interim boss but was unable to improve the team as the board looked for a permanent solution.
Martino will now be looking to lay the foundations ready for when Messi makes his debut for the club later this month. Miami come into this match on a run of eight matches without a win.
Columbus are 5th in the overall MLS table. They are in good form ahead of this clash and Wilfried Nancy has earned many plaudits for the way his team have played.
Top Scorers Predictions for Inter Miami vs Columbus Game
Christian Ramirez has been a big threat for Columbus in the last month. That stats don’t lie. He has found the net four times in his last five matches.
He has featured as both a striker and an attacking midfielder under Wilfried Nancy and should find himself in the danger areas against this poor Inter Miami side.
Columbus to Continue Their Good Run of Form
Columbus Crew have emerged as potential contenders for the MLS Cup in recent weeks. There is still plenty of work to be done but they will be hopeful ahead of the trip to Miami.
The Crew haven’t been exceptional on the road but this fixture is a great opportunity for them to improve their record in away matches.
Expect the visitors to be proactive when in possession and create several chances with their fluid attacking shape.
