Miami FC take to the pitch for the first time this year on Friday as they play host to CF Montreal in the first of their pre-season friendly fixtures.

Anthony Pulis’ men were last in action on November 11, when they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Louisville City FC in the championship playoffs quarter-finals.

Miami FC will now look to begin their new season on a high and improve on their eighth-placed finish in the USL Championship last season.

Miami FC vs CF Montreal Prediction

Montreal have enjoyed a decent pre-season campaign and will fancy their chances of ending it all with a win against a significantly inferior Miami FC side. While we expect the hosts to put up a valiant fight, looking at the gulf in quality and experience between the two squads, we are tipping Montreal to come away with an easy win.

Prediction: Miami FC 0-2 CF Montreal
