Here is the predicted lineup for Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew: Schulte, Moreira, Camacho, Amundsen, Farsi, Matan, Nagbe, Arfsten, Russell-Rowe, Rossi y Cucho Hernández.
Score Prediction
The problem with the Herons is not their start but how they closed the games. The last time these teams faced each other, Inter Miami suffered the second half. This time, they cannot let that happen again if they want the Supporters Shield.
Also, Cucho Hernandez, Columbus Crew goalscorer, is coming in hot. The defense will need to have THE game to stop him. If you let him near the box, it would end with a goal. Having Lionel Messi still doesn't guarantee you will destroy the other team. That's why I think the game will be incredibly close.
