Inter Miami vs. Columbus Crew is probably the biggest MLS game of the month. The clash between the No. 1 favorite to win the MLS Cup in 2024 and the team that won it last year is on the program on Wednesday, June 19, at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Judging by the 2024 MLS odds, the Herons are expected to win even though they’ll be without their best player Lionel Messi in this game. Can they cope without him? Let’s find out!
Before Betting on Inter Miami vs. Columbus Crew
Confidence is sky-high in the Inter Miami locker room right now. It’s because these guys managed to beat Philadelphia Union on Saturday despite their key player Lionel Messi being away with his national team.
Not only that, but Inter Miami played that game on the road and were 1-0 down at halftime. On top of that, after they equalized, two of their players got sent off. Nevertheless, the 9-man Inter Miami managed to score the winner in the 4th minute of stoppage time.
They proved they can do well even when things start going wrong, which is why they’re favored to beat Columbus Crew. However, the defending MLS champions are a force to be reckoned with. These guys are in great form in the MLS, winning each of their last four league games.
