CF Montreal vs Forge FC Preview and Team News
CF Montreal Team News
Montreal were surprisingly beaten 0-1 by Forge in the first leg of the Canadian Championship quarterfinal, meaning they’ll come into this match on the back foot.
However, playing at home should provide a much-needed morale booster for Montreal. The hosts haven’t been in the best form of late, losing three of their last five outings, which only adds more pressure on coach Marco Donadel.

Luckily for Montreal, they don’t have any serious injuries in their squad. Although Fabian Herbers, Giacomo Vrioni, and Jalen Neal missed their previous fixture, the club should be able to select their strongest starting lineup.
Their last MLS game ended in a 1-4 loss to Inter Miami, but the team registered an impressive xG of 1.93 and took a total of 13 shots. These numbers reflect the growing confidence of their attackers, even though they’ve scored only four goals in their last five encounters. That boldness in front of the goal could come in handy in the upcoming clash, especially in one-on-one situations.
CF Montreal predicted lineup vs Forge FC (4-4-2): Sirois; Bugaj, Craig, Alvarez, Petrasso; Sealy, Loturi, Piette, Pearce; Owusu, Clarke.
Forge FC Team News
Forge come into this game with a 1-0 advantage after winning the first leg. They’ve also gone unbeaten in their last five outings, with four victories and a draw.
During that run, their attackers have demonstrated why they are among the best in Canada, netting 13 goals, while their defenders have ensured that only four goals were conceded. Forge have also kept two clean sheets in their last four fixtures.
Their previous match was a 2-1 win over Vancouver in the CPL, highlighted by an 83% passing accuracy and nine total shots, three of which were on target. Just like Montreal, Forge have no major injury concerns ahead of this quarterfinal clash.
Forge FC predicted lineup vs CF Montreal (4-1-4-1): Kalongo; Rama, Nimick, Achinioti-Jönsson, Paton; Kane; Massunda, Jensen, Bekker, Choiniere; Wright.
CF Montreal vs Forge FC Prediction
- Pick: CF Montreal to win
- Odds: -122 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: CF Montreal 2-1 Forge FC
Montreal are the clear favorites to win this game. The quality within their squad is much higher than what Forge have to offer, which could prove decisive, despite their poor results of late.
Moreover, Montreal are a different beast altogether in the Canadian Championship. Although they lost the first leg 0-1, they have all the chances to beat Forge.
The home team often play between the lines and look to catch their opponents off guard. Their ability to transition quickly from defense to attack helps their cause a lot, especially when playing on the counter.
CF Montreal vs Forge FC Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: CF Montreal to score the first goal
- Odds: -169 (20Bet)
We expect Montreal to score the first goal of this match. They have several high-caliber players in their ranks who will be eager to get on the scoresheet as quickly as possible. The hosts prefer using short passes while overloading one of their wings to create space in the final third.
This tactic often catches their opponents unawares, especially if they struggle to get on the ball within the first five minutes or so. Combined with Montreal’s well-known ability to play accurate long balls from deep, these strategies should give them a strong edge in scoring first and, ultimately, winning the game.
