Under New Management: Will Inter Miami’s Recent Upheaval Impact the Showdown with Columbus Crew?
Key Stats
– Inter Miami, struggling at the foot of the Eastern Conference, ended a seven-match losing streak with a 1-1 draw against Austin, yet have conceded 17 goals in their last eight games.
– In their last encounter in April, Inter Miami clinched a 2-1 victory over Columbus Crew, despite having just 30% possession. The Crew are now in a commanding form, seeking revenge.
In the thrilling universe of Major League Soccer (MLS), Tuesday brings an enticing clash as Inter Miami, presently languishing at the bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference, prepares to host the playoff contenders, Columbus Crew.
The Crew, in impressive form recently, have catapulted their position in the standings, with five victories in their last six matches. This robust performance starkly contrasts with Inter Miami’s recent struggles, adding intriguing dimensions to the impending face-off at Fort Lauderdale.
Inter Miami: A Looming Resurgence?
Inter Miami’s current position belies the considerable potential for transformation within the club. Tata Martino’s impending arrival as the new coach, following an unsuccessful stint by interim head coach Javier Morales, stirs hopes of a quick recovery for the Miami outfit.

Martino, a proven winner in the MLS with Atlanta United, brings with him a wealth of experience and success, including his time as Argentina and Barcelona’s manager. His incoming tenure also foresees the arrivals of Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi, promising a much-needed facelift for the flailing team.
Inter Miami’s recent performance has been far from promising, with a club-record seven-match losing streak only just broken by a hard-fought 1-1 home draw against Austin.
Despite this, top scorer Josef Martinez, who found the net for the fifth time this season during that draw, seems poised for a successful reunion with Martino, under whose management he previously scored 31 regular-season goals and four more in the playoffs. This lends a sliver of optimism to Inter Miami, despite their persistent defensive issues that have seen them concede 17 goals in their last eight league matches.
Columbus Crew: A Rising Juggernaut
The Columbus Crew’s recent form starkly contrasts with that of their impending hosts. Riding high on a seven-game unbeaten streak capped off by a 2-1 victory against the New York Red Bulls, the Crew are enjoying their best spell of the season. This impressive run, which also includes wins against Colorado, Charlotte, Chicago, and Nashville, has seen the team rise to fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Moreover, the Crew’s potent offensive prowess, averaging two goals per game this season – the highest in MLS, presents a formidable challenge to Inter Miami’s shaky defence. This potent combination of Lucas Zelarayan, the playmaker, and Cucho Hernandez, who has scored in four of the last six games, promises an aggressive assault on Inter Miami.
Predictions: A Likely Outcome
Heading into the analysis of the forthcoming showdown, our main prediction is a victory for the Columbus Crew, with both teams scoring. Columbus Crew’s stellar form and offensive prowess bolster this prediction. Despite Inter Miami’s defensive frailties, the team’s recent goal-scoring form – especially with Martinez on the frontlines – provides a basis for expecting a goal from them.
Further, spinning the prediction to the probable correct score, we anticipate a 3-1 victory for Columbus Crew. The Crew’s high average of two goals per game, combined with Inter Miami’s consistent defensive issues and the Crew’s yet-to-be-clean sheet on away games, supports a prediction that both teams will find the back of the net, with the Crew eventually prevailing.
