New York City vs Montreal prediction: Cushing’s boys out to have some fun
Key Stats

- We saw over 2.5 goals in four of the last seven New York City vs Montreal head-to-heads.
- Montreal have the weakest backline in the Eastern Conference, with 43 goals conceded this season.
Correct score prediction: New York City 3-0 Montreal
New York City have been demolishing CF Montreal Impact left and right over the last couple of years. Seeing as Cushing’s team is performing so admirably this season, we believe a 3-0 win in favor of the home team shouldn’t raise any eyebrows.
Pre-game odds and win probability: City are understandably the favorites
- HOME: -220 – 67.2%
- DRAW: +335 – 21.8%
- AWAY: +500 – 11.0%
*These New York City vs Montreal odds are subject to change
We believe that New York City have the three points up for grabs. New York City have a 67.2% win probability ahead of the kick-off. In the meantime, a tie is priced at +335 (21.8%). All of this means that CF Montreal are considered by the bookmakers as huge underdogs in this match, as they only seem to have an 11.0% shot at the three points.

Player to watch: Santiago Rodriguez
We have Santiago Rodriguez as the player to watch in our New York City vs Montreal prediction, as he’s the leading scorer for coach Cushing this season. Santiago scored seven goals in 2024, so it goes without saying he will be a starter for his manager.
Second player to watch: Alonso Martinez
Winger Martinez is another player who Nick Cushing likes to use regularly. Martinez bagged six goals since the start of the 2024 Major League Soccer campaign, so we are sure he will make an appearance for his team on the 4th of July as well.
