CF Montr\u00e9al welcome Orlando City to Stade Saputo on Saturday night with both clubs sitting outside the Eastern Conference playoff line and looking for a result that makes sense of their season.<\/strong> Kick-off is Saturday, May 9 at 4:30 PM ET.<\/p>\n

Montr\u00e9al sit 14th on nine points, three off the playoff cut, but they have proven dangerous at home \u2014 winning their last two at Saputo, including a 1-0 over NYCFC and a 4-1 demolition of the New York Red Bulls. Orlando are 13th on 10 points and just ambushed Inter Miami 4-3 at Freedom Park last weekend, the kind of result that makes the bookmakers re-price.<\/p>\n

The H2H tells you what to expect. The clubs have split the last 10 meetings 3-3 with four draws, and bet365 have Montr\u00e9al as a slight home favorite at -126 with the visitors out at +290.<\/p>\n
