Bitesize Prediction: Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew – 14/08/24

Competition: Leagues Cup

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/7 @ 1xBet

In what could prove to be an action-packed Leagues Cup showdown in the early hours of Wednesday, Inter Miami will welcome Columbus to the Chase Stadium.

Starting with the hosts, managing to make an immediate return to winning ways last weekend, Inter Miami have continued on a real purple patch this season. Eventually claiming a thrilling 4-3 win against Toronto a few days ago, Gerardo Martino’s side have certainly gained quite the reputation. Heading into the MLS’ summer break with a 2-1 victory at home against Chicago, the former Barcelona boss has seen his squad win eight of their previous 10 appearances across all competitions. With that purple patch stemming all the way back to a 3-3 stalemate against St. Louis on June 2nd, the Herons have also continued to shine with their free-scoring performances in the final third. Including a 3-1 romp against Toronto last month, Inter Miami have notched 56 goals in their 25 MLS appearances this season. However, despite looking to punch their Leagues Cup quarter-final ticket here, it should be highlighted that Martino’s side have recorded just a single clean sheet over the past three months.

As for the visitors, getting their Leagues Cup adventure underway last weekend as they stormed their way to a remarkable 4-0 romp at home against Sporting Kansas City, Columbus will be desperately seeking a repeat performance here. Springing a real upset last month as they secured a 4-1 victory against Premier League outfit Aston Villa in a friendly showdown, Wilfried Nancy’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Despite heading into the MLS’ summer break with a dramatic 2-1 defeat at the hands of Atalanta, that is the only loss that Wednesday’s guests have suffered from any of their previous nine appearances across all competitions. Battling it out at the top of the Eastern Conference table, we could be treated to an enjoyable showdown in midweek. It should be noted, with each of the last four meetings between Wednesday’s opponents finishing with both teams finding the net, we are expecting a similar outcome here.
