CF Montreal vs Toronto FC Preview and Team News
CF Montreal Team News
A Canada derby will take place in the Major League Soccer when Montreal host Toronto on Saturday. Both these teams are known for their aggressive approach towards passing and shooting in the final third, and it will be interesting to see who comes up trumps by the end of the evening.
Currently, Montreal are ranked last in the league table, which means that not a lot has gone right for them this season. They usually prefer to play in a 4-4-2 formation, emphasizing the disruption of their opponents’ play before creating new attacking opportunities.
ALLEZ!

Montreal are also renowned for their aggressive counter-attacks, but they have not been able to express themselves to the fullest this season – perhaps this game against fellow Canadian side Toronto may allow them to showcase their true potential.
In this game, Bryche Duke and Synchuk have both been ruled out owing to muscle injuries, and this is bound to deal a huge blow to Montreal’s team composition. Duke would have made a lot of difference with his mere presence in the starting lineup, but now, he is expected to return only later this month.
CF Montreal predicted lineup vs Toronto FC (4-4-2): Sirois; Waterman, Campbell, Neal, Petrasso; Sealy, Loturi, Piette, Clark; Vrioni, Owusu.
Toronto FC Team News
Toronto, who are not far from Montreal in the league table, are ranked 13th currently. They will hope that the bad form that has accompanied them at almost all times this season comes to an end in this Canadian derby, although injuries to Deandre Kerr (ankle) and Henry Wingo (muscle) are bound to throw a spanner in the works.
Along with the aforementioned players, Jonathan Osorio is also set to miss this game due to an abdominal injury. Richie Laryea, meanwhile, has picked up a leg injury and may not be available for selection either.
All these injuries will hamper Toronto, but they have enough youngsters on the bench who can come up with ideas of their own on how to replace these seniors and make a mark in the meanwhile.

Toronto like to play with a more upbeat 4-1-4-1 formation, and this allows for a lot of fluidity in their passing game. This also allows them to break up the dominance of their opponents if they so wish by pushing their fullbacks forward and asking their central midfielder Flores to drop deep and assist their central defenders.
Toronto FC predicted lineup vs CF Montreal (4-1-4-1): Johnson; Thompson, Long, Gomis, Petretta; Flores; Bernardeschi, Longstaff, Coello, Corbeanu; Spicer.
CF Montreal vs Toronto FC Prediction
- Pick: CF Montreal to win or draw
- Odds: -278 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: CF Montreal 1-1 Toronto FC
Montreal, as they are playing at home, may have a slight advantage over Toronto. We expect them to either win or draw this game. There have been a total of 44 games recorded between these teams, out of which both teams have won an identical number of games – 19.
The rest of the six matches were played out as drawn encounters. Montreal, however, will take great hope from the fact that they have either won or drawn 14 out of the 23 matches played between these teams in the past. At home, Montreal have won four out of the last five matches they have played versus Toronto.
CF Montreal vs Toronto FC Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 1.5 goals
- Odds: -294 (20Bet)
A total of over 1.5 goals is expected in this game between Montreal and Toronto. This invariably means that there will not be a lot of action in the final third, with both teams expected to defend their goals to the max.
Most of the games played between these teams at this venue have been low-scoring, with only two out of the last five seeing at least two goals being scored.
The midfield is expected to be packed in this match, with both teams sparring with each other for bragging rights over the ball which may be recycled over and over again to prevent it from landing at the opposition’s feet.
