Columbus Crew team news and form: Nancy demands more of the same
The visitors may have the head-to-head advantage on their side, but in reality, the last official game between the two clubs was one by the Crew. If Hernandez and his teammates can utilize the home-field support at Lower.com Field, perhaps they’ll be able to chip a point away from Inter Miami.

Inter Miami team news and form: Unbeatable Herons win Supporters’ Shield
With a massive 65 points won this season, the Herons managed to win a historic Supporters’ Shield honor. We are convinced that this is the tip of the iceberg of Martino’s ambitions this season and the players will do their best to go all the way in Major League Soccer.

Player to watch: Lionel Messi
Arguably the best player to ever grace a soccer field, Messi will perform for the Herons at Lower.com Field this week. He sustained a nasty injury while playing for Argentina some time ago, but he is not back to full fitness and is ready to bump his 16-goal tally up a bit. We consider his presence on the field a massive plus in favor of our top Columbus Crew vs Inter Miami prediction.
Second player to watch: Luis Suarez
Suarez is on the right track to win the prestigious Top Goalscorer Award in MLS. He found the net on 18 occasions so far and will undoubtedly be looking to catch up to DC United’s Christian Benteke.
