Hoyos vs Eullaffroy
Inter Miami CF are the odds-on favourites at 23/50 for the visit of CF Montreal on Saturday, but CF Montreal are a live bet at 17/4 and there's a chance the draw, which is odds 21/5, will be the best value of the three.
A stylistic clash and the fact that the Herons are wobbling, should keep this fixture open. Angel Guillermo Hoyos' Miami outfit uses quick vertical breaks, but they are superstars-driven at the other end.
Philippe Eullaffroy's Montreal team are set up to be more patient in possession and to be a compact pressing unit when out of it. The difference is that the L'Impact are more likely to play to the pattern of the game as it comes to them and will play into the space that Miami want to exploit.
Montreal have momentum
CF Montreal arrive on the back of a 1-1 home draw with DC United and a 1-2 away win at Columbus Crew, while Miami lost 4-1 away to Nashville SC, drew 2-2 with Philadelphia Union on the road and lost 1-2 to Toronto FC at home in MLS 2026.
Inter Miami are still 2nd in the MLS 2026 table, however, with 39 points from 21 games, while CF Montreal are 26th on 21 points from 21.
The Herons have stumbled on their return home and this could be another game where Montreal have the momentum to earn a result - but not enough of the possession and quality to win.
Messi to make the difference
