Nashville SC vs CF Montreal: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Nashville SC vs CF Montreal predicted lineups — MLS preview

Nashville SC host CF Montreal at Geodis Park on Wednesday, July 22 at 8:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM CT / 5:30 PM PT, with the home side chasing a fifth straight win as the schedule reopens after the World Cup break.

Our Nashville SC vs CF Montreal prediction starts with a clear gap in momentum. Nashville came out of the mid-season pause and picked up where they left off, edging Atlanta United 1-0, while CF Montréal are still searching for a win they last managed back in early May.

bet365 makes Nashville heavy favorites at -299 to win, with CF Montréal a long shot at +700 and the draw priced at +375. That reflects both the form line and the venue: this is a home team in rhythm against a visitor that has struggled on the road all season.

Nashville SC to WinTop pickFour straight wins into this one, unbeaten at home through the spring, and facing a Montréal side that has not won since May 9.
Sam Surridge to score anytimeNashville’s leading scorer with nine goals off 15 shots on target, and the odds-on favorite to find the net here.
Both Teams to Score: YesMontréal carry a genuine threat in Prince Owusu, and both attacks have found the net freely enough to back a goal each way.
Over 2.5 GoalsNashville have been consistent scorers at home, and Montréal’s soft away record should keep the game open.
Correct Score: Nashville SC 2-1The natural shape of a home win that still lets the visitors score, tying the result, the Over and both-teams-to-score together.

Our approach: anchor on Nashville to win, add Sam Surridge anytime, and treat Nashville SC 2-1 as the scoreline in a game where both teams should score.

Season Form & Standings

With the league restarting after the World Cup break, recent form tells the story here. Nashville SC restarted in the same groove that carried them through the spring, while CF Montréal came back still looking for a spark. The record over each side’s last 10 matches lays out the gap.

Team (last 10)GPWDLGFGA
Nashville SC10721199
CF Montréal103341517

The Boys in Gold have won seven of those 10 and scored 19 goals in the process. CF Montréal, by contrast, have conceded more than they have scored across the same stretch, and their defensive numbers are the clearest reason the market leans so far toward the hosts.

    Nashville SC have won four in a row, a run that survived the break and restarted with a 1-0 home win over Atlanta United on July 17. The last time they dropped points was a 2-2 draw at home to DC United on May 10.

    CF Montréal are winless in four, the last victory a 2-0 home win over Orlando City on May 9. They returned from the break with a goalless draw against Toronto FC, and their travel record has been the season-long weak spot.

    Nashville SC vs Montréal Prediction

    The read here is straightforward. Nashville are settled, in form and hard to stop at Geodis Park, while CF Montréal arrive off the back of a poor run and with the leakier defense of the two. We are backing Nashville SC to win at -299 with bet365, with Sam Surridge to score anytime and enough attacking quality on both sides to send the game over 2.5 goals. Kick-off is 8:30 PM ET at Geodis Park. For the wider picture, see our MLS hub and the latest MLS standings, plus more soccer predictions across the week.
