Inter Miami is just a win away from securing the 2024 Supporters’ Shield, which is given to the team with the most points over the course of the regular season.
Lionel Messi & Co. can do it as early as Wednesday, October 2. It won’t be easy, though, as they’re playing against defending MLS Cup champions, Columbus Crew.

Inter Miami Going for the Supporters’ Shield
Inter Miami are top of the Eastern Conference table with 65 points, which is eight more than Columbus Crew. The Herons also have seven points more than the Western Conference leaders Los Angeles Galaxy.
However, with just three more rounds left in the 2024 regular season, Inter Miami stand a very good chance to win the Supporters’ Shield. In fact, they can do it with a win on Wednesday evening.
Obviously, they’ve got the motivation to do it, but do they have the manpower? Sure, they do! After all, they’ve got the soccer GOAT on their roster.
As always, Lionel Messi has been playing great. However, his teammates have not, which is why Inter Miami are without a win in their last three MLS games.
On the bright side for their fans, the Herons have been in a goal-scoring mood, finding the net at least once in each of their last 17 MLS games.
The Clash of Two Highest-Scoring Teams in the East
Inter Miami’s players have scored at least one goal in every MLS game since mid-May. The result is that they’re the highest-scoring team in the league with 69 goals so far. This accounts for 2.22 goals per game on average. Meanwhile, Columbus Crew are second in the East when it comes to scoring with 60 goals in 30 games.
Another interesting fact is that we saw a total of 26 goals in the 9 Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami games played so far. In the last five of those, we saw “over 2.5” each time, and our prediction is that the same will happen again.
In their most recent game – the Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami duel in the Leagues Cup – we saw a total of five goals.
Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami Prediction: The Herons Set to Clinch the Supporters’ Shield
Our prediction is that the October 2 game in Columbus is going to be a real spectacle, with goals on both ends. With Lionel Messi leading the charge, Inter Miami should be the team to score at least one goal more.
