Orlando City vs Montreal prediction: Lions will devour CF Montreal
Key Stats
- Orlando City haven’t lost a game against Montreal since the 7th of May, 2023.
- Orlando City’s manager has a positive 11-3-5 record versus Montreal.
- We saw under 2.5 goals in three of the last five Orlando City vs Montreal head-to-heads.
Correct score prediction: Orlando City 2-0 Montreal
As we stated earlier in our Orlando City vs Montreal prediction, three of the past five meetings resulted in two or fewer goals being scored. Seeing as we did see a couple of the last 10 games result in 2-0 wins for the Lions, we trust coach Pareja’s boys will be able to get much-needed three points via a 2-0 score on the 27th as well.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Can Pareja’s boys prove experts right?
- HOME: -120 – 53.1%
- DRAW: +280 – 25.9%
- AWAY: +320 – 20.0%
*These Orlando City vs Montreal odds are subject to change
As you can see from the odds above, we have the Lions down as the expected winners with a whopping 53.2% win probability. In comparison, the visitors from Canada only seem to have a 20.0% shot at the three points.
However, if you want a sure thing, you might opt for under 2.5 goals at -142, as the odds imply a 58.68% success chance for our Orlando City vs Montreal predictions.

Orlando City team news and form: Duncan out
McGuire was called up for international duty for the USMNT during the 2024 Summer Olympics in France. He will miss a couple of games for his club, but we are sure that up-and-coming striker Enrique will do his best to fill in the gaps.
Predicted lineup: Gallese (GK), Smith, Jansson, Schlegel, Borhallsson, Araujo, Cartagena, Ojeda, Torres, Angulo & Enrique

Montreal team news and form: Loss in the Canadian derby will take its toll
CF Montreal couldn’t handle Toronto in last week’s clash at Saputo Stadium. The result after 90 minutes of play was 0-1 in favor of Bernardeschi and his teammates, which is surely another plus in favor of our Orlando City vs Montreal predictions.
Predicted lineup: Sirois (GK), Waterman, Alvarez, Sosa, Edwards, Piette, Choiniere, Teixeira, Vilsaint, Lassiter & Martinez

Player to watch: Facundo Torres
When you manage to outscore tremendous Duncan McGuire, you deserve a special shoutout in our Orlando City vs Montreal prediction. Such is the case with Torres. He bagged eight goals for his club in Major League Soccer this season, and he will surely be a starter for coach Pareja.
Second player to watch: Josef Martinez
The former Inter Miami star is the player Orlando City have to be very careful with if they want to get anything out of this match. Montreal’s striker scored five goals since the start of the season.
