Columbus Crew face a struggling CF Montreal side at home, with the hosts eager to put the disappointment of a 3-1 loss to Charlotte behind them. Columbus have enjoyed a solid run overall, winning 50% of their last 10 matches, while their home record is particularly impressive, with five wins from their last eight games. New signing Andre Gomes will be one to watch for the Crew, while Abou Ali, Bangoura, and Thiare remain in the treatment room. Columbus have also scored in every one of their last 10 matches, averaging 1.60 goals per game.
CF Montreal, meanwhile, are enduring a difficult spell, going eight MLS games without a victory. The Canadians have won just 20% of their last 10 matches and concede 1.50 goals per game. Amaya, Carmona, Hidalgo, and Morales are all sidelined with injuries, further reducing their options. The H2H record also gives Columbus confidence, with the Crew winning 16 of the previous 33 meetings, while 67% of those games saw both teams find the net.
As Columbus have won 63% of their last eight home matches, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on Home Win, alongside Columbus Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (this landed in 22 of the last 33 H2H meetings).
This MLS match will be played on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 00:30.
