CF Montreal vs. Columbus Crew – Prediction and Betting Tips | May 16, 2024

CF Montreal will host Columbus Crew at Saputo Stadium in a crucial MLS midweek fixture on May 16, 2024, at 12:30 AM UK time. Both teams are striving to break their respective poor forms, with Montreal losing recently to Inter Miami and Columbus falling to FC Cincinnati. This match is not just a regular league game but also a tactical battle between coaching friends turned foes, as both have significant history with their opponent’s team.

Detailed Analysis

CF Montreal’s Form and Tactical Setup CF Montreal, under Laurent Courtois, have shown potential in patches but have struggled for consistency, failing to secure a victory in their last four matches against Columbus Crew. Despite losing their recent home game, Montreal have been strong at Saputo Stadium, historically avoiding back-to-back home losses. They will look to leverage their scoring trend in Montreal, where they have netted in their last six regular-season games. Key players like Bryce Duke and possibly Kwadwo Opoku, if fit, will be critical in penetrating Columbus’s defense.

Columbus Crew’s Season and Strategy Columbus Crew, guided by Wilfried Nancy, have been underperforming in MLS with a seven-match winless streak. However, they have shown resilience in away games, remaining unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions on the road. Columbus will aim to improve their first-half performances, having not scored in the first 45 minutes of an MLS match since March. Their approach might rely heavily on counterattacks, utilizing players like Maximilian Arfsten and Derrick Etienne to exploit Montreal’s occasional defensive lapses.

Head-to-Head and Historical Context The matchup is intriguing given the managerial narratives: Courtois and Nancy have deep connections with their current and former clubs, which adds an extra layer of familiarity and competitiveness to the encounter. Montreal has not beaten Columbus at home since they were known as Montreal Impact in 2019.

Prediction

Considering both teams’ recent forms and historical head-to-head records, the match is poised to be tightly contested. However, Montreal’s slight home advantage and urgency to bounce back might just tilt the scale in their favor.
