CF Montreal vs Club Leon Preview and Team News
CF Montreal Team News
Montreal haven’t had a strong run in MLS this season, but they’ll be looking to start fresh in this match. Unfortunately, Fabian Herbers has been ruled out with a muscle injury, while Samuel Piette, who has sustained an abdominal issue, remains a doubt.
Montreal’s defense hasn’t been in good shape this campaign, often showing poor communication when it comes to marking their opponents.

In their last MLS game, a 3-1 win over the New England Revolution, the Canadian side demonstrated impressive control over the ball, along with an incisive nature in the final third, despite holding just 38% possession. Although they were largely outplayed in both attack and midfield, they managed to capitalize on their limited chances, scoring three goals from five shots on target and creating two big chances in the process.
Montreal will have to be wary of playing on the counter against Leon, as their opponents rarely lose possession when they have the ball in dangerous areas, which, in turn, should force the hosts to keep their shape at the back.
CF Montreal predicted lineup vs Club Leon (4-3-3): Sirois; Bugaj, Craig, Alvarez, Guboglo; Loturi, Duke, Waterman; Clark, Owusu, Sealy.
Club Leon Team News
Club Leon, one of the top-rated teams in Mexico, will aim to capitalize on the advantage over Montreal in this away game. However, they’ll be without Alfonso Blanco due to a wrist injury, while Emiliano Rigoni is a doubtful starter.
The squad tend to play in a 4-3-1-2 formation, which allows them to exploit their wings and make use of the space that opens up on the flanks. This setup helps Leon utilize the pace of their wingers effectively and deliver crosses and lobbed balls into the final third.

The club haven’t been in their best form lately, as seen in their recent 1-4 loss to Cruz Azul, where they were thoroughly outplayed. They managed to register only 39% possession, an xG of 0.91, and nine shots, five of which were on target.
The visiting side have now lost four of their last five outings and conceded ten goals during that run, averaging at least two per match. While none of this bodes well for their confidence, Leon must remember that this is a new competition and, therefore, a clean slate.
Club Leon predicted lineup vs CF Montreal (4-3-1-2): Garcia; Santos, Barreiro, Frias, Reyes; Echeverria, Estrada, Moreno; Beltra; Ayon, Rodriguez.
CF Montreal vs Club Leon Prediction
- Pick: Club Leon to win or draw
- Odds: -217 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: CF Montreal 2-2 Club Leon
Despite playing in familiar conditions, Montreal may not have much of an advantage over their opponents in this game. We expect Leon to either win or draw this match. Their extensive usage of the flanks is likely to overwhelm the Montreal defenders, forcing them to track back and lose sight of the players they need to mark.
Throughout the ongoing MLS season, the Canadian side’s defenders have appeared hesitant in their box, which has allowed their opponents to take a wide range of shots from angles and spaces that could have been prevented. Leon will look to exploit exactly those kinds of openings.
CF Montreal vs Club Leon Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2
- Odds: -263 (20Bet)
We expect this match to feature a total of over two goals. This is a reasonable assumption, given that both teams are likely to approach the game quite cautiously. This is their first-ever meeting, and they don’t know each other very well, which should lead to a lot of probing and tactical adjustments, as well as plenty of passing.
Montreal should tighten their defensive unit as much as possible to prevent the leakage of goals, while Leon will likely focus on a straight, high-press style of play. If that doesn’t work, they can always turn to their trusted wings. The Mexicans are expected to be the more flamboyant of the two sides.
