CF Montreal vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction and Betting Tips

The MLS returns with a fresh set of fixtures as CF Montreal play host to Vancouver Whitecaps at the Stade Saputo on Saturday.

The hosts head into the game on a two-match winning streak and will look to keep their fine run alive and kicking.

With seven points from six games, Montreal are ninth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Meanwhile, Vancouver were sent crashing back down to earth when they lost 3-2 against Portland Timbers on home turf in their last outing. That followed a 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City on April 3 that saw their four-game winless run come to an end.

The Whitecaps are in penultimate postion in the Western Conference standings after picking up four points from their opening six games.

CF Montreal vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction

Montreal have been grinding out results in recent weeks and will back themselves to pick up a third win on the bounce for the first time since last September.

The Whitecaps, meanwhile, have won just one of their last six games this season. Montreal should take advantage of that to claim all three points, albeit by the odd goal.

Prediction: Montreal 2-1 Vancouver.
