Inter Miami v Columbus

Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew Preview

The fourth of July is always a special day in the American sporting calendar and there is MLS action on Tuesday night featuring this upcoming clash between Inter Miami and Columbus Crew at the DRV PNK Stadium as two sides with contrasting fortunes face off with an important three points at stake.

Inter Miami managed to halt a seven-match losing streak last time out when they held Austin to a 1-1 draw at home but it means that the hosts are now eight league matches without a win in the MLS, losing seven of these eight games.

Within this seven-match losing sequence, Inter Miami have been handed three defeats on home turf to the likes of Orlando City, New York RB and DC United and with this upcoming visit from high-flying fourth-placed Columbus Crew, it looks like being another tough evening at the office for Inter Miami.

In addition, Inter Miami have managed to win just two of their last eight home games at the DRV PNK Stadium, losing five of these in the process.

Following previous back-to-back defeats to Cincinnati and Nashville, both away from home, Columbus Crew have clicked back into gear in impressive fashion in subsequent matches as the visitors are unbeaten in their last six matches, picking up five wins within this excellent run of form.

Victories against Colorado Rapids, Charlotte, Chicago Fire, Nashville and New York RB will give Columbus Crew plenty of confidence and momentum heading into this upcoming trip to face Inter Miami, whom they lost 2-1 at home to back in the end of April, so the visitors will be keen to avenge that defeat on Tuesday night.

This five-match winning sequence has also helped Columbus Crew into fourth place where they hold a comfortable eight-point buffer above eighth-placed Montreal and having earned four points from their last two games on the road, The Crew will be eager to add further points to their tally at the DRV PNK Stadium.

Inter Miami v Columbus Crew Verdict

Inter Miami have actually won both of the previous two meetings between themselves and Columbus Crew, both by 2-1 margins but the tables could be turned here on Tuesday night with Columbus Crew re-discovering their form and bringing an impressive winning momentum into this upcoming encounter on Tuesday night.
