CF Montreal vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 2.02 expected goals for CF Montreal and 1.15 for Vancouver Whitecaps, a combined total of 3.17.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 61% for over 2.5 goals and 59% for both teams to score, with 2–1 the single most likely scoreline at 10%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is CF Montreal win, at 57.6%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 59% and over 2.5 goals at 61%.

A 58% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
