Columbus Crew vs Inter Miami Prediction

In their previous meeting earlier this season, Inter Miami won 1-0 on the road. Inter Miami is 5-1-1 in their last 7 overall meetings against Columbus, and are 3-0-2 in their last 5 meetings in Miami. Over is 6-1 in their last 7 overall meetings, and 3-0 in their last 3 meetings in Miami.

In this Columbus Crew vs Inter Miami Prediction, Inter Miami is coming as +100 home favorites. Columbus has more points than Miami this season, and have been in far better form lately, so this line should be closer to a pickem. Instead, Inter Miami is being overpriced, despite having won only once in their last 5 games. Columbus Crew has been very competitive lately, and have four draws in their last five games, and have lost only once in their last six road games. I like Columbus Crew not to lose in this one, so take Columbus Crew at +0.5 goals.
