Head-to-head statistics Inter Miami - Columbus Crew
Inter Miami Team Overview
The absence of their talisman hasn't hurt them. Inter Miami won both matches after a long break. Suárez was the difference in both - he single-handedly outscored Chicago Fire in a goal-fest and converted a penalty to give Miami a 1-0 win over Montreal.
Casemiro has slotted in well. His arrival coincided with a clean sheet against that same Montreal side. A quality addition as the title race - still tangled up in off-pitch disputes - rolls on. As for Lionel Messi: he's back training with the club this week, but his availability for the Columbus match is still uncertain.
Match Results: Inter Miami
Columbus Crew Team Overview
The visitors came back from the break in decent shape. Three points from six, and the win over Cincinnati stands out - conceding just one goal in that match is no small thing. That said, consistency over a run of games still isn't there.
Crew are outside the playoff spots but within reach. The team probably lacks a genuine leader. The regular season keeps showing that a deep squad isn't enough on its own - you need someone at least at the level of Suarez. Look at Chicago Fire, who didn't sign Robert Lewandowski for nothing.
