A heavyweight bout is scheduled for Wednesday at the top of the Eastern Conference MLS standings as second-place Columbus Crew hosts first-place Inter Miami. Let’s get into the match prediction for this potential future Conference Finals confrontation.
Columbus are still within a shout of catching their opponents for the top spot in the MLS standings. The defending champions have put together a strong season, even with the extra fixtures brought about by the CONCACAF Champions League.
Since finishing as runners-up in that competition (1 June), the Crew have been on a tear in the domestic league. In their 16 MLS fixtures, the hosts have come out victorious on 10 occasions with another three draws.
Most recently, the Crew were held to a 2-2 draw by DC United away from home. It was a difficult spot as it was three days on the heels of their penalty shootout defeat to Mexican side America in the Campeones Cup.
A win for Inter Miami on Wednesday would clinch the first Supporters Shield trophy in the club’s history. Despite having an eight-point lead over Columbus, they’ll want to wrap things up as soon as possible.
The league leaders come into this matchup off the back of a 1-1 away draw with Charlotte. It marked the third stalemate in a row for Inter Miami, which has allowed their opponents to get back in the race. The good news is that the visitors are unbeaten in their last six across all competitions and their last eight in the MLS.

Our Columbus Crew vs Inter Miami Prediction
Clinching the Supporters’ Shield on Wednesday would be a significant boon for manager Tata Martino. It will allow some additional rest for the likes of Messi and Suarez before the start of the playoffs.
However, they’ll have to first overcome a Columbus side with the league’s best head coach and that is sporting a 67% win percentage over their last 24 matches. We like them to grab the three points and blow this Supporters’ Shield race wide open. Our Columbus Crew vs Inter Miami prediction: Columbus to win.
