Columbus Crew vs Inter Miami Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS 2025

The Herons are fourth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Inter Miami will visit Huntington Bank Field on matchday nine of Major League Soccer to face the Columbus Crew. The hosts are currently sitting at the top spot of the Eastern Conference and are undefeated in the league so far. With five wins and three draws, the Columbus Crew have accumulated 18 points and are one of the favourites to clinch the MLS title at the end of the season.

Inter Miami, on the other hand, are currently in fourth place in the points table. They dropped four points in their previous two games and need to get back to winning ways as soon as possible. The Vice City won the 2024 Supporters Shield last season.

They will look to take a step further and win the MLS title for the very first time in their history.

Form:

Columbus Crew (in all competitions): W-W-W-D-D

Inter Miami (in all competitions): D-W-D-L-W

Players to watch out for:

Diego Rossi (Columbus Crew)

The Uruguayan attacker has started this season in incredible form. He is currently the top goalscorer for his club in the MLS. He possesses all the attributes to operate as a number 10.

He has registered five goals to his name and should certainly have a great game against the vulnerable backline of Inter Miami.

Lionel Messi (Inter Miami CF)

The Argentine has been instrumental for Inter Miami ever since he arrived in 2023. Despite his injury problems, Messi has been the difference maker for the Vice City in all the matches he has played. La Pulga is also their leading goalscorer this season with eight goals and played a key role in his side’s recent win against LAFC.

Match Facts:

• The last game between these two teams ended in a 3-2 win for the Herons.
• Columbus Crew won 2-1 against St. Louis in their last game.
