Montreal's equivalent run is 5 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, scoring 24 and conceding 34. Both samples blend MLS with Canadian Championship fixtures, so it's not a clean league-only picture, but the pattern of shaky results either way is clear enough.
Both teams have struggled to string wins together, and draws have been a regular feature for each of them.
Recent meetings have been tight, older ones less so
The most recent meeting between these two finished 0-0 back in July 2026. Before that there was a 1-1 draw and a 2-2 in the Canadian Championship, suggesting recent encounters have been fairly even.

Go back further and the picture changes completely, with a 1-6 and a 5-1 among the results. That history shows this fixture can swing either way, and it's not something to lean on heavily given how far back some of those scorelines go.
Toronto sit above Montreal, but not by much
Toronto are 12th with 29 points from 26 games, while Montreal are 15th on 21 points from the same number of matches. Toronto's goal difference is healthier too, at minus 10 compared to Montreal's minus 22.

That gap fits with what the recent form shows, Toronto have simply picked up a few more results without playing a different level of football.
Both squads carry a long list of names to watch
Montreal's list of absences is lengthy, including Ibrahim and Amaya as doubts, Hidalgo out with a groin issue, Pereira with a lower-body injury and Piette missing through yellow-card accumulation. Several other names are tied to international duty entries rather than confirmed unavailability for this specific game, given how far out it is from the current data.
Toronto have their own concerns, with Zimmerman flagged for yellow cards and Mihailovic for a muscle injury among others. On the attacking side, Montreal's P. Owusu has scored 13 goals in 24 appearances, easily their standout threat if he's involved.
With the match still weeks away, it's too early to treat any of these entries as a confirmed lineup situation.

Toronto have the better league position and a slightly tidier recent record, but neither team is playing with any real conviction right now. The head-to-head history swings from cagey draws to one-sided scorelines, which doesn't offer a clean read either.
With no strong signal from form, standings or team news pointing firmly one way, and no market data to weigh up here, this is one to leave alone rather than force a pick.
