Prediction: CF Montreal vs Inter Miami

Two camps who find themselves scrapping it out at opposite ends of the Eastern Conference standings, Inter Miami will travel to Montreal in the early hours of Sunday.

With America’s elite now back in full swing following the summer World Cup break, there are plenty of eye-catching betting promotions available.

CF Montreal

Starting with the hosts, enduring what has been another public MLS struggle this season, Montreal are once again scrapping it out at the foot of the Eastern Conference standings and they have an almighty challenge on their hands in the race to mount any kind of play-off charge. Last seen putting in another downbeat display as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at the hands of Nashville, interim boss Philippe Eullaffroy will be bracing himself for another monumental challenge this weekend. Heading into the MLS’ summer interval with a pulsating 4-4 stalemate against DC United on May 24th, Montreal have mustered just a sole win from any of their previous seven consecutive top-flight matchups. Set for a heavyweight challenge here, it should also be highlighted that Sunday’s hosts have drawn back-to-back MLS blanks.

Both still dealing with respective injury issues, Montreal will once again be unable to call upon the duo of Bode Hidalgo and Venezuelan midfielder Wikelman Carmona in the early hours of Sunday.

Despite notching just a pair of MLS strikes this season, former Vancouver marksman Daniel Rios could be handed a full recall in Quebec. Now in his second campaign at the Saputo Stadium, one-time Newcastle starlet Matty Longstaff will start in the middle of the park.

Inter Miami

As for the visitors, while Inter Miami might be unable to call upon some of their big-name superstars this weekend, the MLS giants will be confident of making another public domestic statement here. Last seen marking their return from the World Cup break with a rollercoaster 3-2 win at home against Chicago, the Herons are riding a serious wave of momentum. Heading into the interval with an action-packed 6-4 win against Philadelphia, Sunday’s guests have now won all of their previous five consecutive appearances. Likewise, gaining a fearsome reputation for their clinical performances in the final third, Inter Miami have notched a staggering 42 goals in their 16 MLS showdowns so far this season. It should also be noted, Guillermo Hoyos’ side cruised their way to a routine 4-1 win when they travelled to Quebec 12 months ago.

While Brazilian superstar Casemiro might have seen his controversial MLS switch confirmed this week, the now-former Manchester United midfielder is not expected to play any part in the early hours of Sunday.

Likewise, suffering the most public of World Cup final heartbreak last weekend, eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi will miss out here. However, bagging an MLS brace against Chicago last time out and notching eight top-flight strikes this season, ex-Barcelona talisman Luis Suarez will lead the line.

CF Montreal vs Inter Miami Key Factors to Consider

• When Inter Miami last travelled to Quebec 12 months ago, Sunday’s guests stormed their way to a thumping 4-1 victory.
• Notching 42 MLS strikes in their 16 appearances this season, Inter Miami hold the best-attacking record in the Eastern Conference.
• Inter Miami have won each of their last five consecutive MLS showdowns.
• Montreal have mustered just a sole MLS victory from any of their previous seven consecutive appearances.
• Including an MLS brace last time out, veteran striker Luis Suarez has registered eight goals so far this season.

While Inter Miami might be unable to call upon many of their first-team superstars this weekend, the Herons will be confident of laying down another domestic marker here. Winning all of their previous five consecutive MLS appearances on either side of the summer interval, Sunday’s guests have also gained a reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third. Likewise, Inter Miami also clinched a dominant 4-1 win when they last travelled to Quebec 12 months ago. Two camps scrapping it out at opposite ends of the Eastern Conference standings, we are backing a similar outcome this weekend.
