CF Montreal vs New England Revolution
Kickoff Saturday 1 August 2026, 23:30 UTC. Based on 2 signals.
The take
Montreal are favored at home with a 49 percent chance of victory, but only slightly. The Revolution have a real opportunity here, backed by 24 percent win probability and expected goals of 1.06. We predict a 1-1 draw, though the underlying xG figures (1.58 to 1.06) suggest Montreal should edge this one. The teams have split their last four meetings evenly, two wins apiece, so there is little historical pattern to rely on. A low data quality score of 0.11 means missing context on form, squad fitness, and motivation. Back either team with modest confidence, but a draw remains the most likely stalemate outcome.
The signals
- Venue, travel and rest
Montreal's home advantage at Saputo Stadium is factored into the forecast.
- Head to head (API-Football, last 4)
The teams have won two apiece in their last four meetings with no draws.
The referee appointment is not sourced by the automated pipeline. The official enters the model only as neutral cards and variance, never as a factor in the winner.
The math
2 signals fold into a strength gap, which becomes the goals each side is expected to score, about 1.58 for CF Montreal and 1.06 for New England Revolution. Those lambdas run through a Poisson scoreline model with the Dixon Coles correction, producing the probability of every result. Summed up that is 49 for CF Montreal, 24 for New England Revolution and 27 for a draw, with 1-1 the single most likely scoreline. Data quality sits at 0.11 because this page was built by the automated pipeline and 6 of the eight signals (recent form, fifa strength, squad value, player rating, availability, motivation) could not be sourced automatically, so the CF Montreal win band is held at 24 to 73.
