Montreal vs Club Leon Prediction and Betting Tips

Montreal will face Club Leon at the Saputo Stadium on Tuesday in the opening round of the 2025 Leagues Cup. The home side have struggled for results in Major League Soccer this season as they sit rock-bottom in the combined table with 18 points, and will hope a change of scenery this week spurs a change of fortune for the rest of the campaign.

They suffered a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Orlando City in their tournament opener last season, finding themselves four goals down before the now-departed Josef Martinez pulled one back midway through the second half.

Club Leon have endured a slow start to their Liga MX Apertura campaign, picking up where they left off in the Clausura playoffs in May. They suffered a 4-1 defeat to Cruz Azul in their most recent outing and could have no major complaints about the result after a flat performance on the road.

Like their midweek opponents, the visitors also suffered defeat in their Leagues Cup opener last season as they lost 2-1 to Portland Timbers and will be hoping for a positive start to things this time around.

Montreal vs Club Leon Head-to-Head and Prediction

Tuesday's game will mark the first-ever meeting between the two teams.
Montreal have had 10 meetings against Mexican opposition in competitive action. They have won three of those games, lost three and drawn the other four.
Leon are one-time winners of the Leagues Cup, lifting the regional title in 2021. Le CFM, meanwhile, have never made it past the round of 32 of the competition.
Montreal have the third-worst offensive and defensive records in MLS this term with 23 goals scored and 46 conceded.

Montreal vs Club Leon Prediction

Le CFM beat New England Revolution 3-1 in their last match to snap a five-game winless streak and they will be looking to kick on from that on Tuesday. They have, however, won just one home game all season and could struggle here.

Los Panzas Verdes have lost all but one of their last seven competitive outings stretching back to last season. They have failed to perform on the road in recent months but should have enough to take this one to penalties.

Prediction: Montreal 1-1 Club Leon
