The MLS is back in action with another round of matches this week as Columbus Crew lock horns with Inter Miami in an important encounter at the DRV PNK Stadium on Tuesday.
Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew Preview
Columbus Crew are currently in fifth place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Crew edged New York Red Bulls to a narrow 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
