CF Montreal goes into this weekend’s MLS matchup against in-form Inter Miami CF winless in five league fixtures. Can the Impact cause an upset and pick up a big three points at Saputo Stadium?

Having claimed just one victory in the last seven games, Montreal has slipped down to 13th in the Eastern Conference standings. The Canadians are desperate to end the poor run on home soil this weekend.

Eullaffroy’s Positive Impact in Quebec

Montreal fired Marco Donadel in April after a dreadful run of form. Philippe Eullaffroy was brought in on an interim basis, and the new boss snapped the losing streak in game one, guiding the Impact to a stunning 4-1 home victory over New York Red Bulls.

Wins against New York City FC and Orlando City SC followed, but Montreal has gone on to draw three and lose two of the next five.

Before the 2026 FIFA World Cup break, Eullaffroy’s side battled to a goalless tie with Canadian rival Toronto FC. The club then returned to action with a narrow away loss to Nashville SC in midweek.

On the whole, Montreal’s form has improved since Eullaffroy took charge, winning three, losing three, and drawing three of nine MLS matches. Can the Quebec outfit bounce back with maximum points this weekend?

Can CFM See Off In-Form Inter Miami?

After Lionel Messi's heroics with Argentina at the 2026 World Cup, Inter Miami will be without its main man, which certainly levels the playing field. Rodrigo De Paul will also be absent for the away team.

Still, Inter Miami have quality in the roster, and Guillermo Hoyos’ men will be dangerous at Saputo Stadium this weekend. Since a 4-3 home reverse to Orlando in early May, the Herons have won five in a row and sit second in the Eastern Conference standings.

Despite being at home, Montreal is the underdog in this one, but Eullaffroy’s troops will fancy their chances.
