Head-to-head statistics New-York City - Montreal
New-York City Team Overview
New York City claimed a 2-1 home win over Atlanta United in their previous MLS outing on 28 October 2026, despite trailing 11-19 in shots and 1.26-2.16 on xG. After a goalless first half, all three goals came after the break.
New York City head into this fixture with just one win, two draws, and two defeats in their last five outings. Over their previous ten matches, they have managed only two victories, alongside four draws and four losses, averaging 1.1 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per game.

Match Results: New-York City
Montreal Impact Team Overview
Montreal Impact suffered a 0-4 defeat away to Charlotte in their most recent MLS outing on 28 October 2026. Despite enjoying 53% possession, the visitors managed just one shot on target from ten attempts, while the hosts hit the target seven times from 13 shots.
Montreal Impact are seeing out the end of the season with little left to play for-there’s no playoff push or relegation battle in sight. Over their last five matches, the visitors have managed just one draw alongside four defeats, and across their previous ten games, they’ve won only twice while suffering seven losses. Their attacking output has been particularly poor, averaging just 0.8 goals scored per game while conceding 1.8 across all competitions during this stretch - a clear sign of the team’s ongoing struggles in front of goal.
Match Results: Montreal Impact
Match Result Prediction
New York City have failed to win in 14 of their last 15 matches, averaging just 0.8 goals per game across their previous 10 home fixtures. These stats make Montreal Impact (+1.5) on the handicap an option worth considering. However, Montreal Impact have lost 12 out of 16 away games this season, so there’s little confidence in this pick. The recommendation is Montreal Impact (+1.5) handicap at odds of 1.70*.
Total Goals Prediction
In New York City's last five home matches, there have been under 3.5 goals, while each of the past seven head-to-head meetings has seen fewer than 2.5 goals. Over their previous 10 home games, New York City average just 0.8 goals per match, while Montreal Impact have scored an average of 0.5 goals in their last 10 away fixtures. However, Montreal Impact concede an average of 2.69 goals per away game this season, which adds some risk to a low-scoring prediction. Taking all this into account, the under 3.5 total goals market at odds of 1.58* looks like a solid choice.
High-Risk Bet
Each of the last seven head-to-head meetings has seen under 2.5 goals. That trend fits with both teams’ recent scoring form: New York City are averaging just 0.8 goals per game across their last 10 home fixtures, while Montreal Impact have managed only 0.5 per match in their last 10 away outings. However, Montreal Impact are conceding an average of 2.69 goals per away game this season, which makes a stricter total goal line considerably riskier. Still, we’re taking under 2.5 goals at odds of 2.41*.
Safer Bet
In 10 of the last 11 head-to-head clashes at New York City’s home ground, there have been fewer than 4.5 goals. Additionally, none of New York City’s last five home games have featured as many as four goals. Over their previous 10 home fixtures, the hosts are averaging just 0.8 goals per match, while Montreal Impact have managed only 0.5 goals per game across their last 10 away outings. Backing under 4.5 total goals at odds of 1.22* looks like a solid pick.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's projections, the top three most probable scorelines are 1-0 (14.77%), 2-0 (10.7%), and 2-1 (9.63%). Of these outcomes, a 1-0 result is considered the most likely, with the other two options ranking just below it in terms of probability.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
The current standings push New York City to take the initiative up front - they need a positive result to keep their playoff hopes alive as the regular season winds down. However, their home games have rarely turned into high-scoring affairs: the under 3.5 goals market has hit in five consecutive matches, following this season’s MLS trend, even with every point now crucial for the hosts. Montreal Impact, meanwhile, offer little threat going forward - their attack remains one of the least productive in the league as the campaign nears its end, regardless of any added pressure. The main prediction here is under 3.5 goals.
