Montreal vs Chicago Fire prediction: Goals galore at Saputo Stadium
Key Stats
- Montreal’s last victory over Chicago Fire was recorded two years ago.
- We saw over 2.5 goals in three of the last four games between the two teams.
- Montreal conceded 61 goals since the start of the season, meaning coach Courtois’ team has the worst defensive statistics.
Correct score prediction: Montreal 1-2 Chicago Fire
Seeing as CF Montreal’s defense is such a joke, we believe our key Montreal vs Chicago Fire predictions will surely succeed. Coach Laurent Courtois’ boys have the worst defensive record in the league and we can absolutely see how the visitors can score at least two past the home team’s goalkeeper.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Klopas’ side is the underdog
- HOME: +120 – 44.4%
- DRAW: +270 – 27.0%
- AWAY: +230 – 28.6%
*These Montreal vs Chicago Fire odds are subject to change
Montreal to win is priced at +120, which means the home team’s players are the expected winners, with a sturdy 44.4% win probability behind them. We agree with the bookies that the visitors deserve to be named the underdogs. With only a 28.6% chance of securing the three points, the visitors will hardly make an impact at Saputo Stadium in this thrilling Major League Soccer event.

Montreal team news and form: Defensive blunders galore
It came as no surprise that CF Montreal conceded two goals in their last match which was versus coach Caleb Porter’s New England Revolution. Montreal’s defense simply lacks quality and we are sure that Chicago Fire will exploit those errors at the back.

Chicago Fire team news and form: Negative goal difference as usual
With a negative goal difference of -16, Chicago Fire are on the verge of sinking to the bottom of the table in the Eastern Conference. However, with a 4-3-1 record versus CF Montreal, we believe coach Frank Klopas has the answers.

Player to watch: Hugo Cuypers
We trust Cuypers to make a difference at Saputo Stadium, as he is one of the visitors’ only well-performing players this season. With 10 goals to his name, Cuypers still has a shot at the Top Goalscorer Award at the end of the season. However, he’d have to be at his lethal best against CF Montreal this week.
Second player to watch: Fabian Herbers
Herbers, on the other hand, is the leading creator for the visitors. He assisted for four goals and still managed to score two on his own.
