CF Montreal vs Inter Miami prediction, preview, team news and more | Club Friendlies 2022
Inter Miami are back in action with another pre-season friendly this weekend as they take on CF Montreal on Friday. Both teams have been inconsistent over the past year and have a point to prove in this fixture.
CF Montreal secured a tenth-place finish in the MLS Eastern Conference standings last year and will look to improve this season. The Canadian outfit played out a 2-2 draw against New York City FC last week and will look to take it up a notch in this match.
Inter Miami, on the other hand, finished in 11th place in the league table last season and also failed to meet expectations in the MLS. The away side suffered a 1-0 defeat against DC United last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.

CF Montreal vs Inter Miami Prediction
Inter Miami have a unique blend of youth and experience in their ranks and have revamped their squad ahead of the new season. Phil Neville's charges are yet to justify their potential in the MLS and will look to meet expectations this year.
CF Montreal are perfectly capable of packing a punch on their day but will have to do without a few international stars on Friday. Both teams are evenly matched on paper and could play out a draw this weekend.
Prediction: CF Montreal 1-1 Inter Miami
