Resurgent Montreal will be looking for their fifth win in six matches when they host the Portland Timbers at Saputo Stadium on Wednesday evening. 

Despite that excellent run of results, Montreal's dismal first few weeks of the season means that they are still outside of the Eastern Conference postseason places. However, with momentum on their side (plus a top class defence that has conceded just once in their last four games), it only seems a matter of time before Montreal move into the top half of the standings.

Portland also experienced a terrible start to the campaign, but their 6-0 thumping of Sporting KC at the weekend means that they have now won three of their last five league games. The big problem for the Timbers so far has been their road form; they have lost five of their six away games this season, including a disappointing 2-0 reverse at Real Salt Lake last time out.

Our CF Montreal vs Portland Timbers Prediction

These are two in-form sides, but we're giving the home side the edge due to their excellent defensive record over the last few weeks, plus Portland's ongoing struggles on the road.

It is also important to take into account Montreal's superb recent record against the Timbers. It has now been 11 years since Portland triumphed in this fixture, and they were on the receiving end of a 4-1 thumping in the side's last encounter back in 2023. 

Our prediction for CF Montreal vs Portland Timbers is: Montreal to win.
