Best 2 Picks for Columbus Crew vs Inter Miami
1. Bet on a High Scoring Affair
Besides the fact that the Eastern Conference top spot will be on the line, we must remember that we’re talking about two old-fashioned teams. That means the Crew and the Herons truly believe that the best defense is a good offense.
Including the teams from the Western Conference, Miami is the league’s top-scoring team with 69 goals. On average, the Herons score 2.2 goals per game. Having Luis Suarez and Messi has a lot to do with that; Suarez has scored 17 goals, while the Argentinian has scored 15.
Most recently, Messi scored in the 1-1 draw against Charlotte FC. That was Miami’s 21st consecutive match scoring at least one goal.

As for Columbus, the Crew has scored 60 goals. Having Camilo Hernandez, best known as Cucho, has a lot to do with that. Cucho has been leading the way all season long and currently leads the team in scoring with 16 goals.
Most recently, the Colombian scored in the 2-2 draw against DC United. Including that match, the Crew managed to score in eight of their last 10 games in all competitions. Things get even better when playing at home, where they scored at least three goals in seven of their last 10 matches.
Trust me, not including the over in your MLS picks would be a huge mistake.

2. Take the Draw
Inter Miami already qualified for the postseason. However, the Herons haven’t secured the Supporters’ Shield Cup, which is granted to the best team during the regular season. The Herons are close to winning it, but the Los Angeles Galaxy and the Crew still have a chance.
The good news for the Herons is that a victory in Columbus would be enough to clinch the title. The bad news is that I don’t expect them to win. I mean, seven of the previous eight meetings between these two finished with a one-goal difference. That means we always get to enjoy a close, back-and-forth battle and Wednesday’s clash won’t be an exception.
Considering what’s on the line, and the fact that the Crew also want to avoid the sweep, Inter Miami won the previous MLS clash 2-1, I expect the match to finish with a draw.
There’s also the fact that Miami’s last three games finished with a draw, and the same happened in three of Columbus’ last five matches.
One last piece of advice! Always make sure to check the latest MLS news before placing your bets.
