2025-05-23 | Pre-game insights

On May 24th, 2025, CF Montréal will host LAFC at Stade Saputo in a highly anticipated MLS clash. However, an AI prediction model suggests that LAFC is the favorite to win, with a 45.2% win probability compared to CF Montréal's 28.7%. The AI’s assessment takes into account team strength, rating LAFC at 0.639 and CF Montréal at just 0.343. LAFC's recent form, including dominant performances orchestrated by MLS superstar Denis Bouanga, further supports the prediction. Their midfield, anchored by the experienced Kellyn Acosta, provides stability and creativity. CF Montréal, on the other hand, has struggled lately, particularly evident in their recent 6-1 loss to Toronto FC. While Montréal's forward, Matías Cóccaro, possesses individual brilliance, it might not be enough to overcome LAFC's cohesive strength. The AI also estimates a 26.0% chance of a draw, but ultimately leans towards an LAFC victory based on their superior overall performance and tactical prowess.
