Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami CF

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami head to Lower.com Field, knowing a win secures the 2024 Supporters' Shield title. The Herons, who've drawn three straight, can still set a new MLS single-season points record if they win their final three regular-season games.

A win keeps Columbus alive in the Shield race, and builds momentum in their MLS Cup title defense after winning Leagues Cup this summer. Star forward Cucho Hernández can also strengthen his Landon Donovan MLS MVP campaign, entering with 16g/13a in 24 matches.

Colorado Rapids vs. LA Galaxy

The LA Galaxy can all but clinch the Western Conference's No. 1 seed if they win this midweek road matchup. They're six points clear atop the West, led by Riqui Puig, Joseph Paintsil, Gabriel Pec and Dejan Joveljić all scoring 10 or more goals this season.

Colorado have punched their postseason ticket, and now are battling for a top-four finish and home-field advantage in Round One. They'll need a massive game from midfielder Djordje Mihailovic (11g/13a), as well as goalkeeper Zack Steffen.

LAFC vs. St. Louis CITY SC

After a brief lull in form, LAFC have course-corrected with a US Open Cup final victory and a massive win at FC Cincinnati. With Denis Bouanga as dominant as ever, and Olivier Giroud getting more comfortable, the Black & Gold are looking to add to their trophy haul.

St. Louis CITY are eliminated from playoff contention, though they will relish the spoiler role. Mid-summer additions Marcel Hartel and Cedric Teuchert continue to impress, plotting a positive course towards 2025.
