Back in Ohio, the Columbus Crew will host second-to-last CF Montreal in the conference and are favored at home, with betting sites giving them implied odds of over 50% to win.
After a very commendable Leagues Cup run, in which Columbus Crew secured passage to the next round with victories against Atlas, Pachuca, and Pumas, Courtois's team suffered a setback at Bank of America Stadium. They fell 3-1 to Charlotte. Following the match, which Columbus fans labeled a defensive disaster, the team remains outside the playoff positions after 19 games.
Even so, they have fared much better than CF Montreal; in MLS, the Canadian team hasn't won since May 9th, a streak that has now stretched to eight games without a victory. Owusu continues to be their key to scoring, netting a penalty in his team's recent draw against DC United. It was a match that left them with a bitter taste, as they had 23 shots, 8 on target, and still managed a draw.

Our Columbus Crew vs CF Montreal Prediction
Despite recent positive results, the Columbus Crew has conceded at least one goal in each of their last seven matches. They let in two goals before the ten-minute mark in their loss to Charlotte.
First, Columbus seemed overconfident when Charlotte, with a simple pass, broke through the defensive line and scored before the 30-second mark. Then, before the 10-minute mark, with possession in the box, the defense miscommunicated with the goalkeeper, stole the ball, and conceded a penalty in desperation.
Our prediction for Columbus Crew vs Montreal is: Over 3.5 goals.
