Columbus Crew will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to seven games in the Major League Soccer when they travel to DRV PNK stadium to take on Inter Miami on Tuesday night. The visitors defeated New York Red Bulls 2-1 at the weekend, while the Herons are heading into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw against Austin FC. The victory helped the Crew to move to fourth spot in the Eastern Conference standings, having collected 34 points from 20 games, while the hosts have a game in hand, and are languishing at the bottom of the 15-team table, with just 16 points to their name.
Inter Miami shared the spoils against Austin FC last time out despite taking the lead through Josef Martinez’s 49th-minute effort. Although the result ended their seven-game losing streak in the MLS, the Heron are winless in the league since getting the better of New England Revolution 2-1 mid-way through May. Despite going through a torrid season on the field, the influx of established names from Europe and South America continues, with the former Argentina and Barcelona boss Tata Martino coming to Florida. The arrival of Martino, also an MLS Cup winner with Atlanta United, foreshadows those of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets, and the former Barca trio might be required to turn things around at the DRV PNK stadium.
Columbus Crew, on the other hand, secured their tenth league-win of the season against New York Red Bull last time out thanks to Cucho Hernandez’s 19th-minute opener and Yaw Yeboah’s winner on the hour mark. The result extended their unbeaten run six games, recording five victories and scoring 14 goals in the period. The impressive run of form has helped the Crew to move to fourth spot in the table and close the gap on leaders Cincinnati to ten points. Meanwhile, Wilfried Nancy’s men also sit first in MLS for goals scored, averaging two per game to date.
Inter Miami probable starting lineup: Callender, Taylor, Kryvtsov, Fray, Allen, Ruiz, Arroyo, Cremaschi, Pizarro, Robinson, Martinez
Columbus Crew probable starting lineup: Schulte, Zawadzki, Moreira, Amundsen, Farsi, Nagbe, Matan, Yeboah, Zelarayan, Ramirez, Hernandez
