CF Montreal vs DC United Preview and Team News
CF Montreal Team News
CF Montreal were fortunate to escape with a 1-1 draw against Atlanta United in their last match. They looked outmatched and could’ve easily ended with what would’ve been a third straight defeat in all competitions. The
xG data doesn’t lie, and Montreal came up short in nearly every stat against Atlanta. Moreover, they’ve posted a lower xG than their opponents in five of their last six MLS games.

That draw against Atlanta United also extended a poor run of results for the Impact. If you exclude the penalty shootouts from the Leagues Cup, Montreal have won only one of their previous 10 fixtures across all competitions.
Their head-to-head record against DC United is far from ideal either, as they’ve won just one of their last five encounters (W1, D2, L2).
To make things even more complicated for Montreal, they won’t be at full strength and will be missing some players who would be in the starting lineup if healthy. Samuel Piette, Fabian Herbers, Jalen Neal, and Giacomo Vrioni are all sidelined for this contest. Meanwhile, Tom Pearce and Efraín Morales are questionable. This means that the team will be particularly thin in terms of defensive depth.
CF Montreal predicted lineup vs DC United (4-2-3-1): Gillier; Waterman, Morales, Álvarez, Petrasso; Craig, Loturi; Sealy, Synchuk, Clark; Owusu.
DC United Team News
DC United are in an even worse position than their opponents ahead of this clash. While Montreal have been struggling a bit in recent weeks, they’ve found a way to get some positive results here and there.
The same can’t be said about DC United, with the Washington-based side currently riding a seven-game losing streak across all competitions while going 11 straight fixtures without a win, including friendlies (D1, L10).

Their most recent win came against FC Cincinnati on May 31. Since then, the team have conceded two or more goals in all but two of their previous 10 competitive matches, including each of their last six in MLS.
Their troubles aren’t limited to the defensive end, though, with the Black and Red also failing to score four times during this woeful stretch. Not even the break for the Leagues Cup helped them get back on track.
Out of the US Open Cup, excluded from the Leagues Cup, and sitting last in the Eastern Conference standings, DC United could already be thinking about the 2026 MLS season.

They might have a slight psychological advantage after winning in two of their previous three visits to Montreal, but it’s hard to trust them to get any kind of positive result given their recent form.
DC United predicted lineup vs CF Montreal (4-4-2): Kim; Herrera, Bartlett, Rowles, Schnegg; Leal, Peltola, Servania, Peglow; Benteke, Gabriel Pirani.

CF Montreal vs DC United Prediction, Odds
- Pick: CF Montreal to win
- Odds: -108 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: CF Montreal 2-1 DC United
Even though both teams are tied in points, sitting at the bottom of the standings in the Eastern Conference, Montreal should have the edge ahead of this contest. In addition to the home-field advantage, the Canadian club’s recent form (W1, D2, L2) has been far better than the opponents’.
The visitors are on a five-game losing streak in MLS.
Montreal also secured a 4-2 victory in their most recent head-to-head meeting at Saputo Stadium in 2024. The hosts should take advantage of DC United’s road woes, with six straight losses across all competitions and an average of 2.5 goals allowed per fixture over that stretch, to get back to winning ways in front of their fans.
CF Montreal vs DC United Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 total goals and both teams to score – yes
- Odds: -112 (Tonybet)
Despite the underwhelming results in recent weeks, one thing that has stood out about Montreal’s matches is that they’ve been filled with entertainment. Nine of their last 10 games across all competitions have seen either both teams score or more than 2.5 total goals.
Five of their previous six overall and four of their last six at Saputo Stadium have seen both sides find the back of the net.
The same trend isn’t as noticeable when analyzing DC United’s outings, but that’s mainly due to the team’s struggles in front of goal. Still, the Washington-based club have scored at least once in four of their last five MLS fixtures against Montreal.
Don’t be surprised if the defensive issues both clubs have experienced throughout the season lead to another clash in which both teams end up scoring.
