FC Cincinnati have already secured their spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs, but achieving second spot in the standings could ensure a more straightforward passage through the post-season.
Cincinnati have enjoyed another reliable campaign in the MLS, winning three of their last four, and losing just twice in their last seven fixtures.
Last time out, they landed a 1-0 success on the road against the NY Red Bulls. Kevin Denkey netted the winner in the clash.
CF Montreal have never really figured in the playoff battle in the Eastern Conference this season. Instead, they will be hoping to avoid finishing bottom of the standings.
Confidence could be gained from their recent outings, as they have taken four points from their last two matches. They continued to show battling qualities last time out after taking a point against Nashville.
However, defensive issues have been a concern throughout the campaign, keeping clean sheets in just 12% of their matches.
| TOTAL | Cincinnati | Montreal | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MLS Games | 13 | 6 | 4 | 3 |
| Goals | 49 | 28 | 21 |
Cincinnati have been in reliable form throughout the 2025 season, and they will be among the leading contenders once the playoffs get underway.
Despite an upturn in form for the visitors, it is incredibly challenging to overlook the prospect of a home win when making Cincinnati vs. Montreal picks.
