CF Montreal vs Nashville SC Moneyline Prediction

CF Montreal continued its disappointing 2026 season with a defeat in the Canadian Championship final, losing to Forge on penalties after a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes. That result extended the club’s winless run across all competitions to four matches (90 min: D2, L2), and it has won just two of its last 10 games overall (D2, L6). A loss here would eliminate Montreal from playoff contention.

Nashville SC is in the opposite situation. Its 1-1 away draw against the San Jose Earthquakes in the previous round snapped a four-game winning streak, and it has lost just once in its last 10 outings (W6, D3, L1). The Boys in Gold have already secured a playoff berth, and a win here would clinch the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

If the season-long records didn’t paint a clear enough picture to determine the favourite, Nashville SC also holds a clear advantage in the recent head-to-head record. It’s unbeaten in its last five meetings with Montreal (W3, D2) and has lost just once in its last 10 (W6, D3, L1).

Fatigue also tilts the matchup. Montreal is coming off 120 minutes and a penalty shootout in Wednesday’s Canadian Championship final, three days before kick-off. Nashville’s form should make it a clear favourite even on the road.

CF Montreal vs Nashville SC Total Goals Prediction

Each of Montreal’s last four matches across all competitions has finished with under 3.5 goals. The line has also hit in three of Nashville’s last five league games and nine of the previous 10 head-to-head meetings. The season-long numbers also point to a low-scoring clash at Saputo Stadium.

Only 10 of Montreal’s 30 league matches have gone over 3.5 goals, the third-lowest total in the Eastern Conference. The club’s scoring problems have made it the weakest attack in the East, with 36 goals scored at an average of 1.2 per game. Meanwhile, the Boys in Gold have the conference’s best defensive record, with just 23 goals conceded (0.77 per match).

Given Montreal’s scoring issues and Nashville’s solid defence, this is unlikely to turn into a back-and-forth game with many goals.

CF Montreal vs Nashville SC Combo

Nashville SC is a strong favourite to win here as the East’s second-best attack, led by Sam Surridge (17 goals) and Hany Mukhtar (16 goals), faces the conference’s third-worst defence.

Both teams have scored in six of Montreal’s last nine matches across all competitions and four of the visitors’ previous seven league games. BTTS has also landed in each of Nashville’s last four away outings. Both legs point to the same script, a 2-1-type Boys in Gold win in which Montreal gets one but can’t keep pace.

CF Montreal vs Nashville SC Team News

CF Montreal Team News

Out: Bode Hidalgo (out, groin), Brayan Ceballos (out, lower body), Thomas Gillier (out, shoulder), Dante Sealy (questionable, lower body)

Goalkeeper Thomas Gillier and centre-back Brayan Ceballos were regular starters when healthy, but both are out for the rest of the season. Sebastian Breza and Brendan Craig have replaced them, respectively. Neither Bode Hidalgo nor Dante Sealy is a starter when healthy.

Montreal could have some tired legs after playing the Canadian Championship final against Forge, which went to extra time and penalties. The team hasn’t travelled much, though: this is its sixth home match in eight games. It has gone W2, D1, L2 in the previous five at Stade Saputo (90 minutes only).

Nashville SC Team News

Out: Owen Presthus (out, lower body), Famara Camara (questionable, lower body)

Nashville SC should be close to full strength, as the two players listed with injury concerns have combined for no appearances in the 2026 MLS season. Expect key players Hany Mukhtar (16 goals, seven assists) and Sam Surridge (17 goals) to lead the way as the Boys in Gold aim to strengthen their bid for the Supporters’ Shield.

The visitors are used to the road: this is Nashville’s sixth away match in nine fixtures, and it has lost just one of its last five away from home (W1, D3, L1).
