- Orlando City SC have won just one and drawn two of their three MLS 2025 meetings with CF Montreal, who have yet to win.
- Orlando have won five of their ten home MLS games this season.
Orlando are on a high
Orlando City SC should be confident of continuing CF Montreal’s misery on Saturday as the MLS 2025 match sees the two teams face off. The hosts, who have 34 points from 21 games, are ninth in the standings while Montreal sit in 29th with 14 points from their 21 matches. In our Orlando City SC vs CF Montreal preview, Oscar Pareja’s Orlando are on a downward curve having lost both of their last two home games, but should outgun the Canadian club in this encounter nonetheless. Pareja’s players have the quality to score goals on the move, the width to stretch games and the work rate to press in numbers when out of possession. The Orlando City SC vs CF Montreal prediction is that Montreal have had a miserable campaign and, although they grabbed a win on their travels last time out, it was one of two wins in ten MLS away games in 2025. Interim boss Marco Donadel has attempted to keep Montreal solid in their build-up, compact in the middle third and creative enough in the final third to create goals. A transition of style is taking place in Canada, but Donadel’s men still have plenty of work to do in order to get back to a happy place after a chaotic start to the campaign.
Montreal could make it close
The Orlando City SC vs CF Montreal odds of 1.47 for the home team to beat Montreal on Saturday are fair considering the latter’s away record, but they still represent a touch on the short side when factoring in Orlando’s below-par home form of late.
The City Beautiful boys are certainly strong favorites for this matchup, so we will take the 6.40 on the road team to cause an upset in the correct score markets. The game could be close as Montreal should be better in possession and won’t try to overwhelm their opponents, but Orlando will be looking to push forward and create openings for Pašalić and Martin Ojeda, who has four assists in his club’s last 5 MLS fixtures, which have produced nine goals. For those interested, our Orlando City SC vs CF Montreal betting tips focus on the contrast in styles that will make for an interesting game and the fact that both teams have been conceding goals at a rate greater than one per game, points to the ‘Both Team To Score’ market. Montreal have conceded 1.80 goals per MLS game on average when away in 2025 and Orlando City 1.60 at home, so the stats and both sides’ recent goal production points to a similar outcome this weekend. This Orlando City SC vs CF Montreal prediction underlines the likelihood of a competitive and entertaining encounter.
