MLS: Toronto vs. Montreal Picks — Hosts to Gain Bragging Rights (Aug 30)

Two sides that are already out of playoff contention in the Eastern Conference collide on August 30. You can find the odds and our Toronto vs. Montreal picks here.

It has been a frustrating campaign for Toronto, as they sit 12th in the conference standings, having won just five of their 27 matches in 2025. Last time out, they played to an uneventful 0-0 draw against Atlanta United.

Montreal sit a point and a place below their Canadian rivals after 28 matches this season. However, they picked up a hard-fought 3-2 win over Austin FC in the previous round of fixtures.
