CF Montreal vs Toronto FC Prediction: CF Montreal is no super team but they have no reason to struggle here

CF Montreal return to Saputo Stadium where they are set to host Toronto FC in an MLS match.

They are heading to the Saputo Stadium to face CF Montreal, and the odds are stacked against them.
