CF Montreal vs DC United: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

CF Montreal host DC United at Saputo Stadium on Saturday, August 15 (7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT).

Neither side reports any fresh absences here. CF Montreal will again build around Prince Owusu, their top scorer with 10 goals from 37 shots, with Wikelman Carmona (4 goals, 26 chances created) and Matthew Longstaff (2 goals, 23 chances created) supplying the service behind him. DC United, also with a clean bill of health, will look to Tai Baribo, the visitors’ leading scorer with 11 goals from 31 shots, and Louis Munteanu, who has fired 42 shots this season.

This looks a tight, low-scoring watch at Saputo Stadium. CF Montreal’s goal difference sits at -11 and DC United’s at -3, and neither side has been prolific in recent weeks — Montreal drew 2-2 with New England Revolution and lost 0-1 to Inter Miami, while DC United have drawn frequently of late, including a 4-4 shootout with these same opponents back in May. Expect a cagey affair, with Owusu’s edge in the box enough to nudge CF Montreal over the line by a single goal.
