Montréal vs Chicago Fire Main Match Info
- Date and Time: Saturday, May 16, 2026, 4:30 PM EDT

- Location: Montréal, Canada
- Last H2H match: Chicago Fire 3-0 Montréal (MLS, February 2026)
Montréal vs Chicago Fire Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Chicago Fire to Win
- Odds: +134 (Tonybet)
Chicago sit fourth in the Eastern Conference, while Montréal are 11th. The Fire also beat their opponents 3-0 earlier this season and have now won the last two meetings between the clubs.
Away form further supports the pick. Chicago are unbeaten in their last five away matches and have scored 12 goals across their previous five league games.
Tactically, this matchup also suits them. Montréal prefer to build slowly from the back, but Chicago’s pressing and vertical attacks have consistently caused problems for teams with shaky defensive structures. As a result, the visitors look well positioned to come out on top.
Montréal vs Chicago Fire Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Hugo Cuypers to Score
Hugo Cuypers has scored 12 goals in nine MLS appearances. His underlying numbers are elite, with 33 shots, 20 on target, 9.41 xG, and 1.05 xG per 90 minutes.
The Belgian forward is in superb form, having scored in nine straight MLS games. That run makes him only the fifth player in league history to achieve the feat. He also scored the winner in Chicago’s 1-3 away win over D.C. United.
The Fire should find space in transition, especially with Montréal expected to push forward at home. That should create openings for Cuypers to attack the box. Given his remarkable streak, we expect the Belgian to find the net.

- SGP: Chicago Fire to Win + Hugo Cuypers to Score + Over 2.5 Goals
Chicago Fire to Win: The Chicago Fire have won the last two H2Hs and continue pushing for the top three. Given Montréal’s inconsistency, we expect the visitors to secure the victory.
Hugo Cuypers to Score: Cuypers has scored in nine consecutive appearances and leads MLS with 12 goals. Based on current form, the Belgian is the clearest player prop in this match.

Montréal vs Chicago Fire Team News
Montréal Team News
After recording two consecutive victories, Montréal were held to a 2-2 draw by Portland Timbers. They led 2-1 at half-time and even produced 23 shots alongside 1.65 xG, but they also conceded 1.62 xG, and a late defensive mistake ultimately cost them another win.
Prince-Osei Owusu leads the club with six MLS goals this season. Iván Jaime remains the team’s key creative figure in midfield due to his progressive passing and playmaking ability. Wikelman Carmona has scored four goals, including two goals and one assist across his last three games.
Gennadiy Synchuk, Bode Hidalgo, Fabian Herbers, and Sunusi Ibrahim are all sidelined through injury, while Olger Escobar is questionable.
Chicago Fire Team News
Chicago have scored 12 goals across their last five encounters and continue to look dangerous in attack. They average 1.92 goals, 15.17 shots, 5.25 shots on target, and 1.66 xG per game. Defensively, however, they’ve struggled, allowing 1.34 xGA and 1.25 goals per match.
Their key man is clearly Hugo Cuypers, who leads MLS with 12 goals. Philip Zinckernagel recorded an assist in the win at D.C. United, taking his tally to four assists. Robin Lod’s return to the starting XI strengthened the midfield-to-attack link, and he also found the net in the last round.
The visitors arrive with two confirmed absences. Leonardo Barroso and André Franco are both unavailable.
