Inter Miami CF have a chance to link consecutive wins together in MLS play for the first time since March on Saturday, when they welcome Columbus Crew SC to Chase Stadium.

While the Herons had managed to go four games without a win, they got some confidence back with a midweek 4–2 victory over CF Montréal, led by goalscoring efforts from Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, who both netted braces. 

Hoping to make their recent poor form nothing more than a memory, head coach Javier Mascherano’s side look to take down a Crew team suffering their own downturn, having gone winless in five matches. 

Here’s how the Herons could line up on Saturday night at Chase Stadium.

GK: Oscar Ustari—The 38-year-old signed a contract extension through the 2026 season earlier in the week. 

RB: Ian Fray—The 22-year-old American right back has offered a dynamic piece on the right flank for the Herons.

RM: Benjamin Cremaschi—An American youth international, Cremaschi scored the winning goal against Columbus in their previous matchup. 

CM: Federico Redondo—The sidelined and injured Yannick Bright has gotten more playing time in the midfield pivot lately, but Redondo is expected to start in his place.

LM: Telasco Segovia—The Venezuelan scored against the Union last weekend and created two chances against their Canadian foes on Wednesday.
