Montreal vs St. Louis Prediction and Betting Tips

CF Montreal will entertain St. Louis at Stade Saputo in Major League Soccer on Saturday. With five rounds of matches to spare, both teams could already be seeing the writing on the wall.

Montreal vs St. Louis Preview

CF Montreal have played 29 matches so far, winning only five, drawing nine, and losing 15. They sit one place above the floor in the Eastern Conference table with 24 points. With just 15 points up for grabs, the hosts will not be able to qualify for the playoffs even if they win their remaining matches.

L'Impact will enter this meeting on the back of a 1-1 draw against Toronto on the road. The hosts have won once in their last five league matches, dropping six points. It is unclear what their objectives are for the remainder of the campaign, but finishing further from the bottom could be their prime concern.

St. Louis City are in the same boat, having won five times in 29 matches, drawing seven times and losing 17. They sit a place above the floor in the Western Conference table on 22 points. A few weeks ago, they were hoping to qualify for the playoffs via the wild-card round, but that looks very unlikely now, even if they finish with a flawless run.

The visitors are on the verge of replicating their unimpressive stats of the previous campaign that led to the sacking of head coach Olof Mellberg. They currently sit 29th overall and are not expected to qualify for the playoffs. St. Louis City recovered from a three-game losing streak with a draw in their last league game.
