The Columbus Crew has scored 39 goals in 29 matches, but they're in ninth place in the 14-team MLS Eastern Conference standings because of a suspect defense (33 goals surrendered). They come off a 2-2 tie with Montreal but it felt like a loss to the players blowing a late 2-0 lead. Five of their last eight have gone OVER 2.5 goals, as well as 12 of their last 20 road contests. Inter Miami can score (36 goals in 29 matches) behind forward Gonzalo Higuaínbut, but they're in ninth place with a poor defense (49 goals allowed). That's tied for the fourth-most allowed in the East. They come off a 3-1 loss to Chicago surrendering 7 goals in three matches. Nine of their last 12 have gone OVER 2.5 goals, including eight in a row at home. Take Inter Miami/Columbus Crew OVER the total.
