Two of the best teams in Major League Soccer this season meet in sunny South Florida in a highly anticipated midweek battle.
Inter Miami hosts the Columbus Crew on Wednesday, June 19 at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with both teams missing players due to the international break. Inter Miami’s list is certainly longer and with more players, with Matías Rojas, Luis Suárez and, of course, Lionel Messi, all preparing for the Copa América with their respective national teams.
Columbus will be without forward Jacen Russell-Rowe, who is on Canada’s 26-player roster for the Copa América.
Both Inter Miami and the Crew went away from home in their last games and emerged victorious. The Crew traveled to New York City FC and overcame a one-goal deficit to win 3-2, while Inter Miami’s Leo Alfonso scored in second-half stoppage time to give his team a crucial road win in Philadelphia .
Inter Miami needs a win to stay two points or more behind FC Cincinnati at the top of the Eastern Conference, while the Crew can move into the conference’s top four with a win.

Inter Miami vs. Lineups Columbus Crew, team news
Inter Miami achieved a great victory against the Philadelphia Union, but it may have cost them more in exchange for the three points. Starting midfielder David Ruiz and starting centre-back Tomás Avilés are out of this match thanks to their red card expulsions against Unión, further leaving a team already short-handed. Look for one of Ryan Sailor or Noah Allen to come into the backline, while Yannick Bright could deputize in midfield for this match.
Inter Miami Projected Starting Lineup (4-3-3): Callender (GK) – Weigandt, Avilés, Kryvtsov, Alba – Gressel, Busquets, Bright – Taylor, Campana, Cremaschi.
Inter Miami substitutes (9): (Lineups are published one hour before kickoff)
The Columbus Crew reached an agreement this week to strengthen its squad, starting early next month. The Crew traded $325,000 in guaranteed general allocation money (GAM) for St. Louis City offensive midfielder Aziel Jackson, which will give Columbus added depth at a position of need. Meanwhile, the Crew will continue to rely on Christian Ramirez, who scored in the Crew’s 3-2 win against New York City FC.
Columbus Crew Projected Starting Lineup (3-4-3): Schulte (GK) – Amundsen, Moreira, Cheberko – Sands, Morris, Jones, Yeboah – Ramírez, Hernández, Rossi.

Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew Prediction
Inter Miami will be missing more than five starters due to a red card suspension and international absences, and can reach six considering Federico Redondo is out again with an injury. While the club was brave in its road win in Philadelphia, will Inter Miami have enough left in the tank in a midweek game to win? Or will last year’s MLS Cup champions have what it takes to leave South Florida with three points?
Prediction: Columbus Crew 2-1 Inter Miami
