⁠New York City FC vs CF Montreal Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | MLS 2024

The Pigeons returned to winning ways in the last match. 

New York City FC returned to winning ways in the last match after securing a thrilling 4-2 win over Orlando City. The win has brought them back to the fifth position in the MLS Eastern Conference. A win here will further take them closer to the top.

Nick Cushing will be delighted with how his squad performed in the last match after suffering three consecutive losses. With players such as Thiago Martins and Kevin O’Toole returning to the team from injury, you can expect them to maintain their place for the playoff spot. 

CF Montreal have bounced back emphatically in the last couple of matches. They have lost just one match in the last seven outings which highlights the improvement they have made recently. Coach Laurent Courtois has made some big calls in recent matches having dropped Victor Wanyama in the last two games.

There seems to be a positive environment in the squad after a recent run of good form. Montreal are also on the safer side after initially starting the season in relegation places.

Players to Watch

Santiago Rodriguez (⁠New York City FC)

Santiago Rodriguez is having an outstanding season with New York City FC after netting eight goals and providing another four assists. He has looked like a threat from open play as he can dribble past opponents at ease. Rodriguez is also dangerous from free kicks as he can score some outrageous ones.

He is yet to be capped by the Uruguay national team after playing in different age groups. Rodriguez netted the opening goal in the last match to seal a comfortable victory for the team. 

Sunusi Ibrahim (CF Montreal)

Sunusi Ibrahim currently leads the goalscoring charts for his team. He has already developed into a promising talent who was capped by Nigeria in 2021 at the age of 18. Ibrahim has already smashed over 85 appearances for Montreal after breaking into the side in 2021.

This season, he has scored six goals for the team in 21 matches. He is a fast agile striker who likes to use his physical strength and speed to get past opponents at ease.
