Inter Miami might be returning to form at the right time and it's no surprise that Lionel Messi is leading the way. Messi scored two goals with an assist when Inter Miami broke a four-match winless streak (0-2-2) with a 4-2 victory against CF Montreal on Wednesday.

The Crew plays a possession-style attack, as does Miami, and is getting adjusted to playing without Cucho Hernandez, who left for Spanish club Real Betis. Daniel Gazdag, a designated player who joined Columbus from Philadelphia, remains scoreless through his first eight games with the Crew and has no assists.
