Personal analysis: Miami International has received more attention after Messi's transfer. The team's overall offensive strength is not strong in the MLS. Messi, Suarez, and Busquets are all older players on the front line. It is difficult for them to run out of the right position in the counterattack. Several young players have little ball possession on the field, so most of the team's current offensive methods are through positional warfare and set pieces to score. The team's offensive rhythm on the field is relatively slow. The same problem exists on the defensive end. Goalkeeper Ustari is also older, and his ability to save can only be said to be barely enough. Several defenders are not strong in offensive ability. The defense of the MLS basically only focuses on the area in front of the goal. The overall defensive level of the team can only be said to be average. Columbus Crew is one of the few teams that plays slow-paced games. In most cases, they rely on crosses from the wing to score. Afstein on the left is the main outlet of the team's offense, while Rossi on the front line and Lovey in the midfield are used as the end point. The team's formation is very forward in the offense, and they like to pull the ball back. Whenever they encounter a team with strong stealing ability, they are easily counterattacked. In the back line of the team, except for Moreira's strong personal ball handling ability, the other players' ball holding and passing abilities are not strong, and their defensive level can only be said to be in the upper middle level in the MLS.

The offensive rhythm of both Miami International and Columbus Crew is not fast, and the current league points of both teams are somewhat watery. In many games, Miami International is still taken care of. When both teams play positional warfare and attack more, Miami International can have a certain advantage, after all, Messi's technical ability at the feet is still online. In this game, Miami International's home handicap of 0.5 goals is normal. Judging from the current data, the support of institutions for Miami International is gradually increasing. As long as it is not a team with strong counterattack impact, Miami International can still play with its current lineup. Therefore, Lao Li predicts that Miami International is more likely to win at home in this game, and the score is expected to be 3-1 or 3-2.
