CF Montreal vs Atlanta United Preview and Team News
CF Montreal Team News
Montreal hadn’t been among MLS’s top teams in recent years, but they had also rarely found themselves at the very bottom. This season has been different, marked by managerial and internal issues. Within the first month of the season start, the CFM fired coach Laurent Courtois over his poor record of four draws and one defeat.
His interim replacement, Marco Donadel, hasn’t fared much better. Under his guidance, the Impact have only claimed four victories in 25 matches. This has been exacerbated by a poor transfer window, with several key players leaving the club and few exciting signings replacing them.

To add insult to injury, Donadel’s expansive soccer approach has come at a cost, exposing the squad defensively and contributing to a growing injury list. Montreal sit 29th out of 30 in the league with just 18 points from 25 games.
Their League Cup campaign hasn’t been particularly spectacular either, despite a 7-6 penalty shoot-out victory over León. It was followed by defeats against Toluca (1-2) and Puebla (1-2).
CF Montreal Predicted lineup vs Atlanta United (4-2-3-1): Gillier; Petrasso, Morales, Craig, Waterman; Loturi, Piette; Escobar, Synchuk, Sealy; Owusu.
Atlanta United Team News
Atlanta’s struggles haven’t reached Montreal’s deep pit, but there are reasons to be worried for their fans. The Five Stripes sit 26th in the MLS with only 21 points from 24 matches. They’ve been winless for two months, with their last recorded victory, a 3-2 win over Orlando, dating back to late May.
Atlanta’s issues are mostly structural, with the team lacking a coherent defensive setup. They’ve conceded 45 goals in 24 encounters, meaning they’re close to conceding two goals per game.

Additionally, their investments in the midfield haven’t paid off, resulting in a negative balance. Coach Deila seems out of his depth too, having tested different lineups and setups, none of which have brought satisfying results.
Atlanta’s League Cup performances haven’t been much better either, with defeats against Necaxa (1-3) and Pumas (2-3).
Atlanta United lineup vs CF Montreal (4-2-3-1): Guzán; Lennon, Mihaj, Gregersen, Hernández; Muyumba, Slisz; Lobjanidze, Miranchuk, Almirón; Lath.

CF Montreal vs Atlanta United Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Draw
- Odds: +250 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: CF Montreal 2-2 Atlanta United
The good news for Montreal is that they’ll face an opponent dealing with similar struggles – one that have struggled to keep a clean sheet and conceded six goals in their last two outings. The bad news is that they might still find it hard to collect points despite hosting the game.
Both teams have lacked cutting edge in the final third, which suggests that the meeting could come down to one of them outlasting the other, unless it ends in a draw. With both sides struggling to keep a clean sheet, the match could go either way.
CF Montreal vs Atlanta United Betting Tip
- Pick: Miguel Almirón to score
- Odds: +260 (Tonybet)
In what could be a chaotic, goal-filled affair, one of the likeliest scorers could be ex-Newcastle player Miguel Almirón. Although his start to life in MLS hasn’t been particularly impressive, his performances have improved as of late, which might come in handy against an underwhelming backline.
Almirón isn’t the youngest anymore, but his technical level is ahead of anyone on the pitch, making him the de facto leader. He has more than enough space to operate in a league where tactical discipline is only optional. Montreal need the points more than ever against a direct competitor, which is why they should look to maximize Almiron’s role.
