CF Montreal welcomes New England Revolution to their home ground, looking to reverse their recent run of form which has seen them lose four of their last five league games. The task will not be easy, given New England's ability to score, albeit their away form has been patchy.

Jonesy's Verdict

LIVE
CF Montreal vs New England Revolution
0 - 0
Solid
Under 2.5 goals Solid · Statistical edge

The model indicates a 65.0% probability of under 2.5 goals being scored in this match, which aligns with the defensive solidity of both teams and their season averages. Given CF Montreal's home goals-against average of 1.0 and New England's away goals-for average of 0.8, a low-scoring affair is anticipated.

Show the maths
The model's expected goals calculations, based on the teams' real season scoring rates, suggest a low-scoring match. With CF Montreal expected to score 1.3 goals and New England Revolution expected to score 0.8 goals, the total expected goals for the match is 2.1, which supports the under 2.5 goals pick. This calculation, combined with the model's match-result probabilities, indicates a strong likelihood of fewer than three goals being scored.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No 59.9% model probability

With CF Montreal averaging 1.3 expected goals and New England Revolution averaging 0.8, the model gives a 59.9% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 40.1% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (CF Montreal 1.3, New England Revolution 0.8) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 40.1% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 59.9% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals 65.0% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.1 (CF Montreal 1.3 + New England Revolution 0.8) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 65.0% chance against 35.0% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (CF Montreal 1.3 + New England Revolution 0.8 = 2.1 combined): 35.0% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 65.0% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has CF Montreal at 48.3%, the draw at 28.7%, and New England Revolution at 23.0% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 15.9% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
