Miami and Columbus meet at Nu Stadium
Inter Miami CF and Columbus Crew are set to face each other at Nu Stadium in matchday 18 of the Major League Soccer season. Both teams arrive at this fixture having navigated their own distinct paths through the campaign, with their journeys now converging.
Inter Miami's attacking momentum
Inter Miami have shown a potent attacking capability in their recent outings. Their last 10 matches have seen them secure several victories, often by scoring multiple goals. A notable aspect of their play has been their ability to find the net late in games, with a significant portion of their recent goals arriving after the 75th minute. This suggests a team that can maintain pressure and find breakthroughs as matches progress.
Columbus Crew's consistent threat
The Crew have also experienced a mixed bag of results in their last 10 matches, including wins and narrow defeats. They have demonstrated an ability to compete and pick up points, though consistency has been a challenge. Key players have contributed to their efforts, with attacking threats looking to make an impact in crucial moments.
Team news and expected lineups
Inter Miami are dealing with significant absences, with German Berterame, Gonzalo Lujan, and Maximiliano Falcon all unavailable due to injury. This will undoubtedly test the depth of their squad. The expected lineup for Inter Miami features Luis Suarez leading the line, supported by midfielders Preston Plambeck, Mateo Silvetti, Telasco Segovia, Yannick Bright, Casemiro, and defensive players Sergio Reguilon, Micael, Ian Fray, and Facundo Mura, with Rocco Rios Novo in goal. Columbus Crew are expected to field a side including forwards Jamal Thiare and Daniel Gazdag, midfielders Taha Habroune, Sekou Tidiany Bangoura, Dylan Chambost, and Max Arfsten, with a defence comprising Steven Moreira, Rudy Camacho, Sean Zawadzki, and Mohamed Farsi, and Patrick Schulte in goal.
A history of close contests
These two sides have met several times in Major League Soccer, with Inter Miami holding a slight edge in recent encounters. Their previous meetings have often been closely contested, with results swinging either way. The last fixture between them in May 2025 saw Inter Miami secure a decisive 5-1 victory, while earlier meetings have been tighter affairs, including a 3-2 win for Inter Miami in October 2024.
The closing question
With Inter Miami looking to leverage their attacking prowess, particularly their late-game scoring ability, and Columbus Crew aiming to establish their own rhythm and find consistency, this match promises to be an intriguing contest. The impact of Inter Miami's key absences will be a significant factor as they host Columbus Crew at Nu Stadium.
