MLS: Columbus Crew v Inter Miami CF – Preview, predictions, picks, offers and odds as Lionel Messi goes for more silverware

Columbus Crew take on Inter Miami tonight in Major League Soccer. Read our preview and get the best betting offers.

Match Preview

Inter Miami will clinch the Supporters’ Shield tonight with a win at Columbus Crew.

Tata Martino’s men lead the Eastern Conference standings with an eight-point advantage over Columbus, who are second. A win for Lionel Messi and Co would move them 11 points in front with the Crew having just three games remaining.

Western Conference leaders LA Galaxy would also be unable to catch them.

Home boss Wilfried Nancy is excited at the chance to come up against a side featuring Messi after he missed the previous two games between the teams but he’s also aware of Miami’s other threats, which include former Liverpool, Barcelona and Uruguay striker Luis Suarez.

Nancy told the Columbus Dispatch: “Everybody knows Messi. We know what he can do, so the idea is to prepare the game like we prepare every game, knowing that there is a player who can make the difference. 

“He is not the only one. Everybody knows what he can do individually. This is more about the connection with the other players, because Miami without Messi was still good.”
