Our prediction for this MLS match:
Saputo Stadium will host Thursday’s MLS game between Montreal and Columbus, the two teams who were beaten by Inter Miami and Cincinnati respectively at the weekend. The Canadian outfit suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous four league matches, but the midweek game could be the turning point for Laurent Courtois’ troops. All Ousman Jabang, Raheem Edwards, Nathan-Dylan Saliba, Grayson Doody, Matias Coccaro, Josef Martinez, and Kwadwo Opoku remain in the recovery room.
The Crew, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Cincinnati. As both Columbus and Montreal will go for a win in the midweek clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Goalkeeper Evan Bush and midfielder Mohamed Farsi are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while Maximilian Arfsten is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match.
