CF Montreal will be looking to start the new MLS season on a positive note when they welcome Canadian rivals Toronto FC in a highly anticipated derby. The hosts enter the match with confidence after defeating Vancouver FC 2-1 in the Canadian Championship and have been in strong form across their last ten matches (last season), collecting 1.7 points per game. Montreal have been particularly impressive at home, winning four of their last six matches at their own stadium while scoring 2.14 goals per game. However, injuries could have an impact, with Bode Hidalgo and Fabian Herbers ruled out, while Josh Nteziryayo remains a major doubt.
Toronto FC, meanwhile, arrive desperate for a turnaround after a disappointing run of results. The visitors have won just one of their last ten matches and are without an away victory in that period, collecting zero points from their last two road fixtures. Defensive problems have been their biggest issue, with Toronto conceding 2.4 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their last ten outings. On the positive side, they have consistently found the net, scoring in every match during that run. Deandre Kerr, Markus Cimermancic, and Djordje Mihailovic are all doubtful, which could further weaken their options. Given both teams' attacking tendencies and Toronto's defensive struggles, an entertaining encounter looks likely.
Montreal are much stronger at home, while Toronto have lost their last two away games. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside Montreal Over 1.5 goals and Over 2.5 goals (Toronto's matches average 4.1 goals recently, while Montreal's overall games average 3.7 goals).
This MLS match will be played on Friday 17 July 2026 at 00:30.
