🏠 CF Montreal: form and statistics
2025 has begun with events that have taken a turn for the worse for CF Montréal. At least after they have been victorious, not to mention an encouraging 1-0 away win over New York City FC last weekend, the Canadians are still stuck at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with 6 points to their name (1 win, 3 draws, 8 losses). That was their first win of the season, and Prince Owusu's strike in the 48th minute gave the fans a rare moment of celebration; otherwise, it was gloomy. Montréal has scored a paltry 6 goals in 12 games, half of which came from Owusu alone, thus making them the lowest scorers in MLS yet. And, they have conceded first in 7 of their last 9 games, so have often found themselves playing catch-up. With the home losses DLWLW under their belt in their last five outings at Stade Saputo, hope is surely not what they are betting on, at least not with the home crowd in the building. Jonathan Sirois has lately shown himself to be a very capable goalie, but injuries to the likes of Bryce Duke and Gennadiy Synchuk have diminished the midfield's control and further transition to attack. Montréal will wish this recent win can start their transformation, but to take on a high-scoring Columbus will need all the luck and grit in the world.
📝 CF Montreal Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup: Sirois – Bugaj, Neal, Petrasso, Waterman – Saliba, Herbers, Piette – Sealy, Owusu, Vrioni.
⛔️ Out: Gennadiy Synchuk, Bryce Duke

✈️ Columbus Crew: form and statistics
The decision to describe the season in this manner would be somewhat disappointing, with momentum seemingly about to build. Sitting 15th on the table with 6 points (one win, three draws, eight losses), the Crew, in their last three games, has not lost, including a thrilling 2-2 draw away to Philadelphia Union. In the Philadelphia match, Columbus equalized on two occasions—the first goal scored by Max Arfsten and the second goal a 93rd-minute strike by Sean Zawadzki. Despite the poor start, the offense of Columbus remains quite potent, netting goals in 6 of their last 7 encounters and witnessing 2.5+ goal games trends over the said period. They are also gaining form on the road, with their recent improvement highlighted by a record of LDWWD. More magnificent developments have also happened off the pitch, with Daniel Gazdag being signed from Philadelphia Union for up to $4.5 million, and he has agreed to terms through 2027. Given his creativity offensively in midfield, he may become a key player as he gels with Diego Rossi and Arfsten. Defensively, they're still leaking goals, conceding in seven straight games now, but their pressing and energy are making up for it well. Columbus will view this as a perfect opportunity to earn points from promising displays against a reeling Montréal side.
📝 Columbus Crew Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup: Schulte – Moreira, Cheberko, Nagbe – Farsi, Jackson, Zawadzki, Chambost – Gazdag, Rossi, Arfsten.
💊 Out: Andrés Herrera, Rudy Camacho
👤Head coach: Wilfried Nancy

🎯 CF Montreal vs Columbus Crew Match Prediction
Based on form, stats, and history, this match leans toward goals and open play. Columbus, lower in the standings, has the edge with their eighty-six form and attacking prowess, especially on the road. Montréal's goal-scoring woes, coupled with their tendency to concede early, stand them at a disadvantage, despite home support. Defensive solidity is unknown to both, but resilience and better goal distribution weigh in favor of Columbus. Expect another fast-paced game to be thrilled with lots of action there and here.
