Columbus Crew vs Montreal Prediction 19 August 2026
🔊 In this MLS regular season match, Columbus Crew take on Montreal Impact. Both teams are sitting in the lower half of the Eastern Conference standings. Things haven't been going particularly well for either side - especially in attack. So a low-scoring scenario seems likely.
Head-to-Head
📊 The last match between these two sides took place in mid-May. The teams drew 1-1. Looking at the last 5 head-to-head games, Columbus have a significant advantage (3 wins, 2 draws).
Head-to-head statistics Columbus Crew - Montreal
Columbus Crew Team Overview
The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the MLS tournament (home team - Charlotte, away team - Columbus Crew). The match concluded with a scoreline of 3:1.
Here's the game statistics (Columbus Crew vs Charlotte):
- ball possession: 70% vs 30%;
- corner kicks: 13 vs 1;
- fouls: 9 vs 9;
- yellow cards: 0 vs 3;
- shots on target: 4 vs 7.
Columbus are having a relatively decent run of form at the moment: 3 wins, one defeat and one draw in 5 matches. It is worth noting, however, that the wins came in international matches against Mexican clubs. The previous MLS round ended in a defeat to Charlotte (1:3). The team are having very serious problems in attack. Yes, chances worth 2.23 goals were created by xG, but the conversion rate has been well below par. It is quite possible that the same difficulties will follow the team in the upcoming match. Scoring goals is a major problem for the team: by league standards, roughly 1.5 goals per game is not the most impressive metric.
Match Results: Columbus Crew
Montreal Impact Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the MLS tournament (home team - Montreal Impact, away - DC United). The match concluded with a scoreline of 1:1.
Here are the match stats (Montreal Impact vs DC United):
- ball possession: 67% vs 33%;
- corner kicks: 5 vs 3;
- fouls: 10 vs 11;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 2;
- shots on target: 7 vs 2.
Montreal are going through an even worse spell than their opponents: 2 losses and 3 draws in 5 games. True, they haven't lost in August yet: draws with DC United (1:1) and New England Revolution (2:2). However, the team, much like their upcoming opponents, have considerable trouble in the attacking phase. They can hold the ball for long periods, but it very rarely translates into any real danger. Away from home, Montreal will be even more cautious. So what may become very apparent is that in 19 games the team have scored just 25 goals. That is an extremely modest return.

⭐ Editor's Pick
The upcoming match is expected to feature some very scrappy football at times. Both teams struggle to create chances - and to convert them even more so. Many attacking moves will be cut out in midfield. So the main action will likely unfold there as well - far from goal. With that in mind, our editors believe the two sides will not treat us to an abundance of goals. It makes sense to try a bet on total under 3.5 goals.
