Inter Miami form and stats
4-2-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Major League Soccer numbers at home for Inter Miami, who have the most conceded goals (22) at home in Major League Soccer, so far this season. Ever since the Philadelphia Union game Inter has been unbeatable here producing four straight wins.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Inter, as their goalkeeper Nick Marsman has completely shut out the opponents for 208 minutes in the Major League Soccer.
Inter are returning here after visiting Cincinnati in a Major League Soccer game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Brek Shea scored the goal(s). The versatile forward Indiana Vassilev outdid all the other footballers in that game and managed a match rating of 7.42 out of 10. Vassilev hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 20 successful passes (of 23 total).
A 0-0 draw away before that, with Orlando City the opponent.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Inter Miami have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Inter as they are travelling to their away game against Toronto in the Major League Soccer. That match is three days after this one.
Inter are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 11 games. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Inter Miami have conceded 22 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Columbus Crew form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Columbus Crew so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-7 (win-draw-lose). A depressing four defeats in a row for Columbus Crew in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Atlanta United.
Columbus are travelling again after losing away to Orlando City in their previous match (2-3). Midfield player Lucas Zelarayán was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.55/10. Zelarayán hit seven key passes, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 30 successful passes (of 36 total).
A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Cincinnati.Columbus are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, three draws and three defeats. From a total of eight matches.
After this away game Columbus return home for a Major League Soccer game against New York RB. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Columbus when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 12 league matches away. 16 goals have been conceded by Columbus in these games.
