CF Montréal vs Columbus Crew Prediction, Odds and Match Analysis

Probable lineups, injuries and suspensions

CF Montréal: Sebastian Breza; E. Morales, J. Neal, Brayan Ceballos; Victor Loturi, Samuel Piette, Wikelman Carmona; Noah Streit, Prince Owusu, D. Sealy.

Columbus Crew: Patrick Schulte; Malte Amundsen, Sean Zawadzki, Steven Moreira; Lautaro Giaccone, Tarun Karumanchi, André Gomes, Brooks Lennon; G. Tapia, Brais Méndez.

The latest fixture-specific preview reports no fresh fitness concerns for either team. Montréal are expected to build the attack around Prince Owusu, while Columbus retain Brais Méndez among their main advanced options.

Match analysis

Montréal are near the bottom of the Eastern table, but the market is supported by a very recent direct result: they won 2–1 away at Columbus on August 20. Columbus have also struggled for consistency, sitting on 23 points in the current table snapshot. Montréal's own form is poor, however, with four defeats in the five FotMob results shown before this fixture, so the draw protection is essential.

Head-to-head

Columbus lead the broader record 16 wins to 11 with seven draws, but Montréal won the most recent meeting 2–1 in Columbus on August 20, 2026.

Probability of the prediction

Conclusion

Montréal already beat Columbus away in August, making 1X defensible despite poor recent form. Columbus reversing that result against a depleted Montréal squad is the central risk.
