Cincinnati vs FC Montreal Prediction and Betting Tips 22 March 2026

Cincinnati aim to recover from their shock 6-1 defeat to New England as they return home, where their record remains strong. As CF Montreal have yet to find their best form in the early stages of the season, we predict a 2-1 home win. Despite injuries to Chirila and Fletcher and the suspension of Gerardo Valenzuela, Cincinnati have won five of their last seven home matches, averaging 2.43 goals scored and conceding just 0.86. They also keep clean sheets in 57% of their home games, though their overall BTTS rate is surprisingly low at 10% in their last ten outings.

CF Montreal, on the other hand, suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Orlando City and travel without Fabian Herbers and Sunusi Ibrahim. Montreal’s away form has been mixed, with only one win from their last six, scoring 1.33 per game but conceding 2.17. Their defensive issues are reflected in only 17% clean sheets on the road.

Historically, this matchup produces goals: 75% of the last 12 meetings went over 2.5, and BTTS landed in 9 of those 12. Given Cincinnati's strong home form, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals (75% H2H) and BTTS (75%).

This MLS match will be played on Sunday 22 March 2026 at 17:00.
