Expectations weren't very high for CF Montréal, but even in 2026 they're failing to meet those low expectations, having lost five of their first six MLS matches this season. At Saputo Stadium, and with a sense of unease, Montreal will host the NY Red Bulls on Saturday.

This season, Montreal's management decided to act quickly in response to the lack of results, dismissing Marco Donadel and temporarily replacing him with Philippe Eullaffroy while the team searches for a permanent replacement. In Montreal's six MLS matches in 2026, only three different players have found the back of the net: the ever-reliable Owusu, Carmona, and Jaime.

The New York team, on the other hand, hasn't had any scoring problems; they boast a teenage sensation named Julian Hall who is making a name for himself around the league. In the US Open Cup, he was the best player on the field for the NY Red Bulls as they advanced to Pittsburgh, adding two more goals in a season where he already has 7 goals and two assists.

Our CF Montreal vs New York Red Bulls Prediction

This dynamic could be about to change, as the Canadian team played their first 7 matches of this season in the United States and will finally return to Saput Stadium.

However, they return to Canada after a long and arduous road trip in which they conceded 19 goals, more than any other MLS team. This cost them their coach, and they are currently experiencing their worst losing streak since 2024.

Our prediction CF Montreal vs NY Red Bulls is: NY Red Bulls to win.

Prediction:

 

New York Red Bulls win the match
