Montreal vs New England – News and Probable Lineups

CF Montreal will host the New Inglaterra Revolution at Saputo Stadium on Saturday, hoping to break a six-match winless streak in MLS.

Last week, a painful 1-0 loss to Inter Miami saw Le CFM drop to 13th place in the Eastern Conference, whereas the Revolution currently sit in third after a 4-1 victory over Atlanta United.

Match overview

Montreal’s 2026 campaign has been a case of close calls, with the team suffering five losses by a single goal margin.

Philippe Eullaffroy’s side has not found the back of the net in their last three MLS matches, and they hold the joint second-lowest scoring record in the Eastern Conference with just 22 goals.

On Saturday, they will be eager to end a stretch of four consecutive home matches without taking points, during which they scored only twice.

This year, Montreal has lost only once in MLS after scoring in the second half, with FC Cincinnati defeating them 4-3 in March following such a goal.

A victory this weekend would secure Montreal their fourth home league win of the season, doubling their total from last year’s domestic campaign.

Le CFM is also looking to achieve their first home win against the Revolution since 2023, when they last triumphed with a 1-0 scoreline.

New Inglaterra has shown significant improvement defensively since the World Cup break, conceding only once in their past two MLS games.

While they boast the most home wins in the league this year (eight), their away form has been less impressive, with Marko Mitrovic’s team recording only one away victory in 2026 (2-1 against Atlanta United).

They have struggled on the road, scoring one goal or less in five of their last six regular-season outings, finding the net more than once only once as visitors, against Atlanta United.

As they head into this fixture, New Inglaterra is sitting nine points clear of the Eastern Conference playoff zone, having accrued six more points than at this stage in the prior season.

A win this weekend would see them surpass their entire points total from the 2025 season, where they finished in 11th place.

New Inglaterra has been particularly dominant at Saputo Stadium of late, winning their last two visits there by a combined score of 8-0.

Team News

Montreal may be without Bode Hidalgo, Wikelman Carmona, and Frankie Amaya this weekend due to lower body injuries, while Thomas Gillier is a doubt following a concussion.

Efrain Morales, Daniel Rios, and Samuel Piette were the new faces in Le CFM’s starting XI against Miami, replacing Jalen Neal, Fabian Herbers, and Noah Streit.

For New Inglaterra, Ilay Feingold, Andrew Farrell, and Leonardo Campana are uncertain for this match due to injuries to their lower bodies.

Carles Gil netted his sixth of the season last Saturday, with Dor Turgeman, Peyton Miller, and Brooklyn Raines also scoring against Atlanta United.

CF Montreal probable starting XI:

Breza; Bugaj, Neal, Petrasso, Vera; Escobar, Longstaff, Herbers; Loturi, Owusu, Synchuk

New Inglaterra Revolution probable starting XI:

gymnasts; Polster, Kohler, Fofana, Sands; Gil, Raines, Yusuf; Miller, Turgeman, Zambrano

From a table perspective, this may seem like a mismatch; however, considering how poorly the Revolution performs on the road, it presents a significant opportunity for Montreal to return to winning ways.
