CF Montreal vs Toronto FC Prediction and Betting Tips

The action continues in MLS as CF Montreal and Toronto FC lock horns at the Saputo Stadium on Saturday. Both sides have endured a slow start to the new campaign and find themselves languishing at the foot of the Eastern Conference table.

Montreal were denied consecutive league wins for the first time since October as they played out a 1-1 draw with Columbus Crew at the Saputo Stadium on Thursday.

Before that, Marco Donadel’s men secured their first win of the 2025 MLS campaign on May 11, when they edged out New York City FC to snap a 12-game winless run stretching back to their playoff defeat against Atlanta United in October.

With just seven points from the first 13 matches, Montreal are currently rock-bottom in the Eastern Conference table, three points and one place behind this weekend’s visitors.

Like the hosts, Toronto FC were sent crashing back to earth last time out as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against FC Cincinnati at BMO Field. This followed a 2-0 victory over DC United on May 10, a result which saw their three-game losing run across all competitions come to an end.

Toronto’s stuttering start to the season has been due to their struggles in defense, where they have conceded 17 goals already — Montreal have also shipped 17 goals while managing just seven at the opposite end of the pitch.
