Toronto vs CF Montréal betting tips: Canadian Championship semi-final preview, predictions and odds


Montréal have won three of their last four clashes with Toronto, albeit all three of these wins have been in Quebec. Their most recent encounter came in last season's Canadian Championship Final, a 1-0 victory at Stade Saputo. Montréal have only won one of their last six visits to BMO Field.

Over 2.5 goals is 8/13.

CF Montréal to win in 90 minutes and over 2.5 goals is 3/1. 

Match preview

The Canadian Championship's two most successful clubs, by quite some distance, will battle it out for a place in this season's final.

Montréal are the record 11-times winners of this tournament, beating Toronto in last year's final as recently as November.

Although, just 18 days ago, TFC lifted their eighth Voyageurs Cup, overcoming Forge FC on penalties in the delayed 2020 final at Tim Hortons Field.

But, only one will reach this season's final where Vancouver Whitecaps or York United await.

Despite being on the road in this tie, their general MLS form means Club de Foot Montréal come into this clash as favourites.

Although, Wilfried Nancy's team were actually beaten 1-0 by Austin FC on Saturday, meaning they've lost three of their last four MLS matches.

Nevertheless, this leaves Montréal fifth in the Eastern Conference, seven places and eight points above their Canadian rivals.

As that suggests, Toronto FC will be hoping that this Canadian Classique clash can spark their season into life.

At the weekend, the Reds were beaten again, this time going down 2-0 at Red Bull Arena in New Jersey.

So, Bob Bradley's team have lost six of their last eight MLS outings, only beating a generally hopeless Chicago Fire since 16 April.

In the previous round of this competition, Montréal hammered Forge 3-0 in the quarter-finals, Sunusi Ibrahim with a hat-trick.

Meanwhile, goals from Michael Bradley and Jonathan Osorio saw TFC edge out HFX Wanderers FC 2-1 on the road.

Now, in this semi-final clash, who will prevail at BMO Field?
