Montreal vs Columbus Crew Prediction 19 September 2026
🔊 Montreal Impact come into this match on the back of a poor run, with just one win in their last five games. Columbus Crew have also been inconsistent, though they retain a slim motivation to keep pushing for the play-off places, despite a notable gap to close. Both sides sit in the lower half of the table and have little to show in terms of points or current form. The two teams arrive with different aims: the hosts are seeing out the season without any particular pressure, while the visitors are trying to keep alive their minimal chances of moving up the table.
Head-to-Head
📊 Columbus have the better of the head-to-head record over the long run, but it was Montreal who won the meeting between the two sides this season.
Head-to-head statistics Montreal - Columbus Crew
Montreal Impact Team Overview
Montreal Impact are going through a difficult spell: they have won just once in their last five matches, losing three and drawing one. The broader picture is similarly poor - across the previous ten matches they have managed only two wins, with four draws and four defeats. Their average for the season stands at 1.24 goals scored per game and 2.04 conceded, pointing to defensive instability and a fairly ineffective attack over the course of the campaign. A lack of any real competitive motivation is also a factor: at this stage of the season, Montreal Impact are seeing out the campaign with no pressure to reach the play-off places, which is dampening the team's overall mood.
Match Results: Montreal Impact
Columbus Crew Team Overview
Columbus Crew have been inconsistent - three defeats and two wins in their last five matches, and just three wins from their last ten with seven defeats. They are averaging 1.4 goals scored and 1.68 conceded per game, which points to a modest gap between attack and defence over the course of the season. They remain nine points off the playoff places, though their motivation has been rated as low, making a sharp late-season push difficult to envisage. The lack of consistency and limited attacking output give little reason to talk of any meaningful improvement.

Both Teams to Score Prediction
In 9 of the last 10 head-to-head meetings between CF Montréal and Columbus Crew, both sides found the net, which points to a clear trend.

Reliable Bet
Columbus Crew have scored fewer than 2.5 goals in 14 of their last 16 head-to-head meetings with Montreal Impact. On top of that, the team are averaging 1.4 goals per match this season, and 1.5 away from home. This makes Columbus Crew Team Total - Under 2.5 Goals a reliable option at odds of 1.2*.
Correct Score Prediction
Based on statistics and probability distribution, the algorithm identifies three most likely scorelines: 1-1 (10.89%), 0-1 (8.67%) and 1-0 (7.86%). Of these, a 1-1 draw is considered the most probable outcome. The probabilities of the remaining scorelines are also fairly close to one another, which points to an expected tight contest and low scoring.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Both sides are struggling for consistency and points. CF Montréal are ineffective in attack and regularly make mistakes at the back, while Columbus Crew are somewhat more reliable defensively but have shown little meaningful improvement in their play overall. The most consistent trend points to the home match total coming in under 3.5 goals - that looks the logical outcome again here: both attacks have been limited in productivity over the course of the season, and recent results only reinforce the lack of any clear attacking intent from either side, even accounting for the visitors' remaining need to keep their play-off hopes alive. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5.
