CF Montréal vs Columbus Crew Preview and Team News
CF Montréal Team News
Montréal have had a weak start to their MLS campaign. Their poor form shows in the numbers they have posted in the opening 12 matches. They have 1 win, 3 draws, and 8 defeats. They have managed a paltry 6 goals while conceding a significant 16 goals.

Last weekend, Montréal lost at home to Philadelphia 1-2, their 8th reverse of the season. They conceded in the 2nd minute, which gave them a difficult task. Although they equalized in the tail end of the first half, CF Montréal conceded in the 84th minute to lose 1-2. They gave a good account of themselves with a 0-1 win away to New York City FC this weekend and will hope they can continue to rectify some of the sloppiness of their season so far when they host Columbus Crew.
Against Columbus Crew, Montréal will be without Bryce Duke (lower body) and Hannadi Synchuk (lower body). The manager will have to reconfigure his side and get them confident and motivated to keep going as they bid to regain some of their composure and form.
Jules Anthony-Vilsaint, who played the final third of the match against NYC FC after missing five matches, will likely feature on the bench and offer his manager a goal threat option off the bench.
CF Montréal predicted lineup vs Columbus Crew (4-4-2): Sirois; Waterman, Campbell, Álvarez, Pearce; Sealy, Saliba, Piette, Herbers; Vrioni, Owusu.
Columbus Crew Team News
Columbus Crew have made a brilliant start to their opening 12 rounds of fixtures in the MLS. In this run, they have 7 wins, 4 draws, and just 1 loss. They have scored 20 times while conceding 12 times. This puts them in 3rd on the table, tied at 25 points with Cincinnati, who have a superior goal difference and 2 points behind Eastern Conference leaders, Vancouver.
In their last five outings in the MLS, Columbus Crew have 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. The draw came last time out in the MLS when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Philadelphia.

They had to come back from behind twice to get a point in this match, grabbing the equalizer in the third minute of extra time.
Ahead of their trip to Montreal on Wednesday, Columbus Crew will be without Rudy Camacho and Andres Herrera, who are both sidelined with thigh injuries. The manager will look to rejig his side to retain their solidity and attacking threat as they bid to extend their good run of form.
Columbus Crew predicted lineup vs CF Montréal (3-4-1-2): Schulte; Cheberko, Zawadzki, Moreira; Arfsten, Nagbe, Chambost, Farsi; Jackson; Rossi, Gazdag.
CF Montréal vs Columbus Crew Prediction
- Pick: Columbus Crew
- Odds: +114 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: CF Montréal 1-3 Columbus Crew
Columbus Crew have been in superior form this season. Their consistency suggests that they are likely to control the match against a struggling CF Montréal side.
Montréal’s weak defensive record will also come into play in this match. The hosts have conceded 16 goals in 12 matches, highlighting a lack of solidity and compactness. Their 1-2 loss against Philadelphia, where they conceded early and late, shows that they lack the composure and confidence to get results in the MLS.
Columbus Crew also have one of the most potent attacks in the Eastern Conference; they have notched 20 goals, positioning them optimally to expose Montréal’s defensive woes devastatingly.
My take is that Columbus Crew have the momentum, form, and quality to create high-quality chances and take the three points on offer on Wednesday.
CF Montréal vs Columbus Crew Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Columbus Crew Total – Over 1.5
- Odds: +102 (20Bet)
Columbus Crew have demonstrated a strong offensive phase to their game having averaged 1.67 goals per game. Given their attacking depth, they will be a handful against a struggling Montréal.
In contrast, Montréal have shown defensive issues with the concession of 16 goals in 12 matches and 8 losses in this run. Against stronger sides, Montréal have typically let in multiple goals, which backs an Over 1.5 goal tally for Columbus Crew on Wednesday.
Columbus Crew’s 3-4-1-2 system prioritizes wide play and midfield dominance, compared with Montréal’s 4-4-2, which is light in the middle of the pack.
With just a solitary loss this season, Columbus Crew have the momentum, with their attackers, Rossi and Gazdag, leading the line ahead of their clash against Montréal.
My take is that Columbus Crew will have too much for Montréal and they will take the three points on offer.
