CF Montréal and Columbus Crew are set to renew their rivalry on May 15, 2025 at Saputo Stadium in Montréal. Fans across Europe can tune in at 01:30 CEST (Italy, Germany, France, Spain) or 00:30 BST (UK) to catch all the MLS action live.
This will be the second meeting of the season between these two sides, with CF Montréal looking to build on their first win of the 2025 campaign. Columbus Crew will be eager to respond after a mixed start to their league journey, making this clash a pivotal early-season test for both teams.
How are both teams coming into this?
CF Montréal arrive in good spirits after securing their maiden victory of the season. The win injected confidence into the squad and the home crowd at Saputo Stadium will be expecting their side to maintain momentum. Montréal’s tactical setup has been more cohesive in recent weeks, and they will look to capitalize on familiar surroundings.
Columbus Crew, meanwhile, have shown flashes of quality but have yet to find consistent form. They have struggled to translate possession into goals, and defensive lapses have cost them points. Heading into this trip north of the border, the Crew will be focused on tightening up at the back and hitting on the break.
Our forecast
We anticipate a tightly contested encounter, with both sides eager to assert dominance early on. CF Montréal’s energy and the home crowd advantage may give them a slight edge, but Columbus Crew have enough attacking talent to trouble any defence.
Our prediction is for a competitive match that could go either way. A draw seems likely, though a narrow victory for the hosts cannot be ruled out. Expect goals at both ends, and look for the total goals to exceed 2.5 by full time.
