Messi's Magic Can't Stop Miami's Slump
28 Sep
Summary
- Inter Miami has won only once since the league resumed after the World Cup.
- Lionel Messi has scored nine goals in his last eight MLS games.
- Columbus Crew is currently outside the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference.
Inter Miami will attempt to halt its recent slump on Sunday when they travel to face Columbus Crew in a Major League Soccer regular season match. The team's form has been disappointing, with just one win since the league resumed following the World Cup break.
This downturn has occurred even with Lionel Messi in fine scoring form, having netted nine goals in his last eight MLS appearances. The recent results have caused the defending MLS champions to fall to third place in the Eastern Conference.
Meanwhile, Columbus Crew finds itself outside the playoff places. The Ohio-based team is precariously positioned, with only two points separating them from the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.
