CF Montreal vs Inter Miami Preview and Team News
CF Montreal Team News
CF Montreal are coming off a 1-0 victory over New York City FC, but that wasn’t an easy win. The team only registered 32% possession, but they still managed to outshoot their rivals by a decent margin (6-2). Three points aside, that was a result Montreal desperately needed, given their form in recent weeks.
The Canadian side had lost three of their four MLS contests before the win over NYCFC, conceding at least three goals in each of those defeats. The defensive issues have been glaring for the club, which ranks dead last in the standings with 14 points and owns the third-worst defense in the Eastern Conference (GC: 36). Only DC United and Atlanta United have allowed more goals.

Montreal will be without Fabian Herbers (thigh), Giacomo Vrioni (elbow), Jalen Neal (ankle), and Caden Clark (knee) for this matchup. They should recover a much-needed regular on defense, though, as Joel Waterman is expected to return to the lineup after representing Canada at the 2025 Gold Cup.
CF Montreal predicted lineup vs Inter Miami (4-4-2): Sirois; Buhaj, Campbell, Craig, Petrasso; Sealy, Loturi, Piette, Pearce; Owusu, Vilsaint.
Inter Miami Team News
Inter Miami must switch their focus quickly. They return to domestic play only a few days after being thrashed by PSG in the round of 16 of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Despite that exit, their performances in that tournament should boost their chances of turning things around in the league.
Even with stars like Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, Inter Miami haven’t dominated as expected.
Javier Mascherano’s men showed signs of promise before the Club World Cup, going undefeated in their last three MLS matches, including a 4-2 win over Montreal on May 28, and scoring 12 goals over that stretch. Inter Miami have the second-best attack in the Eastern Conference with 36 goals, but they sit in mid-table due to their issues at the back after conceding 27 goals.
The team will be thin in terms of defensive depth since Ian Fray (groin) and Noah Allen (hamstring) are expected to be sidelined for this clash. The same goes for midfielders Yannick Bright (hamstring) and David Ruiz (hamstring), and defender Gonzalo Lujan (strain). Expect Inter Miami to field a similar eleven to the one that ended up playing in the final fixtures of the Club World Cup.
Inter Miami predicted lineup vs CF Montreal (4-3-3): Ustari; Weigandt, Falcon, Avilés, Jordi Alba; Redondo, Busquets, Segovia; Messi, Suárez, Allende.
CF Montreal vs Inter Miami Prediction
- Pick: Inter Miami to win
- Odds: +131 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: CF Montreal 1-2 Inter Miami
Inter Miami got humbled by PSG in the round of 16 of the World Cup. However, they were the lone MLS team to move past the group stage, losing just one of their four games against superior opposition. Al Ahly, Palmeiras, and Porto are three clubs of above-average quality compared to MLS opponents.
Based on the fact that Inter Miami had to play at a different pace and competed against tougher sides, they shouldn’t have significant problems getting the win this time. Even though Montreal might find a way to score at least once due to the visitors’ defensive woes, the Herons should have enough in them to secure the victory away from home.
CF Montreal vs Inter Miami Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Inter Miami to score on both halves
- Odds: +171 (20Bet)
Inter Miami scored twice against FC Porto and Palmeiras at the Club World Cup. That efficiency in front of the goal against complicated opponents should allow them to find the back of the net with ease in their return to MLS play. Additionally, Montreal haven’t exactly been the model of defensive consistency with 11 goals conceded over their last five league contests.
Considering that Inter Miami have bagged at least two goals in their previous three head-to-head meetings with the Canadian club, including goals in both halves of their last two encounters, they should find the back of the net with ease.
