CF Montreal vs FC Cincinnati. Shape of the Teams

On April 13, FC Montreal and FC Cincinnati will play an interesting match at the Saputo Stadium in Montreal. Both teams will strive to win and climb the ranks within the MLS standings.

CF Montreal comfortably sits in 6th place with 13 points from seven matches. So far, they have netted 7 goals while keeping their conceded goals to a minimum of 5.

Despite their commendable position, Montreal has hit a rough patch recently. They have suffered three consecutive losses against the Chicago Fire (3-4), DC United (0-1) and Seattle Sounders FC (0-5).

Fast attacks and active defence usually characterize Montreal’s style of play, a tactic that could help them bounce back on home turf.

FC Cincinnati, on the other hand, has had a disappointing start to the season, languishing in 11th place with a mere seven points.

The struggling squad has scored 8 goals and conceded 13, which indicates shortcomings in both defence and attack. However, FC Cincinnati should not be underestimated – as they maintain a composed and strategic playstyle – and is an unpredictable opponent.

FC Montreal won two of their last five head-to-head meetings, Cincinnati won once, and two matches ended in a draw.

CF Montreal vs FC Cincinnati Prediction, Odds

Pick: Montreal to Win
Odds: +140 (Tonybet)

Given CF Montreal’s decent track record at home and their previous performances against Cincinnati, they are the favourites despite dealing with several injuries.

A key player to watch for Montreal is Uruguayan forward Matias Coccaro, who is the top scorer for the Canadian team with three goals to his tally.

He scored a brace against the Chicago Fire, although it was not enough for Montreal to secure the victory. With his knack for finding the back of the net, he could wreak havoc on Cincinnati’s defence. Additionally, Josef Martinez, who previously played for Inter Miami, brings a wealth of experience and has proven to be a prolific goal scorer throughout his career.

Cincinnati’s most famous player is perhaps Aaron Boupendza. Although the Gabonese forward has had a slow start to the season, he could turn the game on its head. Cincinnati’s current top scorer is Luciano Acosta, who has scored two goals so far.

Although Cincinnati has shown good results in recent away matches, there’s room for improvement. Considering this, I predict CF Montreal’s victory in front of their home crowd at Saputo Stadium

CF Montreal vs FC Cincinnati Betting Tip

Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
Odds: -125 (Tonybet)

Based on Montreal and Cincinnati’s recent form and attacking play style, I think this match will be a high-scoring affair.

Historical data shows that five of the last seven matches between these two ended with a total of over 2.5. There were even cases when the score ballooned to seven and nine goals, showcasing the open nature of matches between these two teams.

Furthermore, Montreal’s recent matches have ended with more than three goals in four out of their last five. This streak shows they have problems in defence even when their attack is performing well. This leads me to believe Montreal will both score and concede in this matchup.

Cincinnati has also been conceding regularly, struggling to keep a clean sheet. Against Montreal, it probably won’t be any different. Both sides have forwards capable of creating and converting chances, while the defence does not perform at its best. Therefore, we will likely see an open game with goals aplenty.
