The international soccer season is full of weird betting odds on MLS contests, and New York City FC's visit to Montreal is no exception. NYCFC has climbed above .500 by means of a lively offense, losing just once in seven appearances. But the team's drawing plus-odds to beat one of the league's worst teams of 2025.
NYCFC will try to pay off those cautious odds by beating CF Montreal this Saturday at 7:30 pm. EST. The host Impact is in poor form with just 11 points on the year, currently the second-worst tally in the league.
Two factors are keeping the markets tight for Saturday. The first is Montreal's recent upset of NYCFC from May 10. The second is New York City's road record, a pale ledger of missed chances for months now.

New York City FC vs CF Montreal Predictions and Picks
New York came closer to snapping its winless streak on the road in Nashville on May 31, but the early brace from streaky opposing striker Sam Surridge was too much to overcome and snag three points. In a mirror-image of what's happened to Atlanta United, the Pigeons' blue-collar back line struggles the most when it can't communicate enough. NYCFC even gave up a winner at Pittsburgh in the U.S. Open Cup, taking its star winger Hannes Wolf off the pitch before the end of a strange elimination defeat.
CF Montreal's lineup is worse off than simply being bad at soccer this June. L'Impact is also incomplete. Montreal is missing three players to national team duties, and five midfielders overall. Olivier Neven from Givemesport outlines how grim CF Montreal's record at home has been to this point in 2025: "Montréal's two wins … have come away from home. (It has) only managed to collect three points at Stade Saputo."
Montreal will lose the possession battle without a capable midfield. NYCFC is likely to respond with a shaky, tentative 1-0 or 2-1 victory above the border, a nice chance for a margin-of-victory prop bet.
