The excitement in MLS continues this weekend when the teams take to their respective fields to dispute the three points in the matches that correspond to matchday 8 of the 2024 season.
As we know, the mission of all teams will be to finish as high as possible in their respective conferences, as that will be the only way to ensure their qualification for the next phase. However, we must remember that the season is still very young, so the teams have not displayed their best level in the quest to have a streak of victories.
Likewise, we can highlight teams such as New York RB, Philadephia Union, Inter Miami, Whitecaps, LA Galaxy, and Real Salt Lake, who have shown that their squads are a little more compact in these first weeks.
One of the matches we will have in this MLS matchday 8 will be between CF Montreal and FC Cincinnati.

Saturday, April 13, 7:30 pm ET at the Saputo Stadium

Why Bet on CF Montreal?
The CF Montreal has not had a positive start to the season, as after six matches played, they have accumulated two wins, one draw, and three losses. However, they have one game less played than many of their direct rivals, so a win could help them climb from 11th place in the East to seventh place in the table.
It’s that close at the start of the season, and Montreal knows it all too well. The team needs its defense to react and stop allowing so many goals, as that will be the only way for them to start a positive streak and climb to the top of the standings.
Montreal comes into Matchday 8 after three consecutive MLS losses to Chicago Fire (3-4), DC United (0-1), and Seattle Sounders (0-5).
Why Bet on FC Cincinnati?
On the other hand, we have FC Cincinnati, one of the teams called to dominate the scene in the Eastern Conference this season, as in the previous campaign, they were an executioner for their conference rivals. However, on that occasion, they fell short and intend to exceed expectations in 2024.
Cincinnati is currently in fifth place in the MLS East, with a record of three wins, three draws, and one loss, with seven goals scored and five conceded. As we can see, the team badly needs their offense to wake up to be a competitive opponent for the teams at the top of the table. However, as the season is still very young and the teams are very evenly matched in the standings, a win this matchday against Montreal could push the Orange & Blue to the top of the Eastern Conference.
Finally, Cincinnati lost at home in their most recent match against New York RB by 1-2.
Final Betting Analysis:Â CF Montreal vs. FC Cincinnati
Let’s remember that the team from Ohio is new in the MLS, so we can’t find a long history of matches between them. However, in the ten previous games, we have Cincinnati slightly leading the series with four wins. On the other hand, Montreal accumulated three wins, while three matches have ended with draws on the scoreboard. Meanwhile, the most recent match between them, last September 21, 2023, ended with a 1-1 draw on the scoreboard.
At 1xBET, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors CF Montreal at 2.48, while FC Cincinnati starts at 2.72.
While it is true that Montreal is the slight favorite to win this match, we expect a very close contest. Therefore, our prediction is a 1-1 draw on the scoreboard.
Look for a Draw. If you put $100 on a Draw at 3.52, you’ll see a $252.00 win with a total payout of $352.00.
