CF Montreal (4-10-5) at Columbus Crew (5-9-5) — Match Preview
CF Montreal arrives at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field carrying a 4-10-5 record while the Columbus Crew, sitting at 5-9-5, look to add to that home ledger on August 19, 2026. Montreal sits 14th toward the bottom of the Eastern Conference and Columbus 11th, a gap that reflects two clubs still searching for consistency.
Prince Owusu has carried Montreal’s attack all year, scoring 11 goals and adding 6 assists across 18 appearances, a return that makes him the offensive focal point of this Montreal side. If available, Wessam Abou Ali gives Columbus its own finishing threat, netting 5 goals in just 7 appearances, an efficient return for a forward with limited minutes on the field. Dylan Chambost has quietly become Columbus’s primary creator, recording 4 assists across 16 appearances, while Wikelman Carmona balances the scales for Montreal with 4 goals and 4 assists in 12 matches.
Matthew Longstaff has been one of the more durable presences in Montreal’s midfield, appearing in 19 matches while contributing 2 goals and 3 assists. Both sides will need production from more than one source if they hope to climb out of the bottom half of the table.

Players to Watch: CF Montreal vs. Columbus Crew
CF Montreal
Prince Owusu — F. Owusu leads Montreal’s attack with 11 goals and 6 assists across 18 appearances, a return that makes him the offensive focal point of this Montreal side. His combination of finishing and setup work forces Columbus to account for him both in behind and inside the box.
Wikelman Carmona — M. Twelve appearances have been enough for Carmona to post 4 goals and 4 assists, a balanced output that gives Montreal a second scoring outlet alongside Owusu. When Carmona finds space between the lines, the Montreal attack stops being a one-man operation.
Matthew Longstaff — M. Longstaff has been one of the more durable presences in Montreal’s midfield, appearing in 19 matches while contributing 2 goals and 3 assists. His steady work between the lines has helped keep Montreal competitive even in stretches when the finishing elsewhere has lagged.
Columbus Crew
Wessam Abou Ali — F. Abou Ali has featured in just 7 appearances this season, but he has still found the net 5 times, an efficient return for a forward with limited minutes on the field. If he’s involved on August 19, Columbus has a finisher capable of deciding the match on his own.
Dylan Chambost — M. Chambost has recorded 4 assists across 16 appearances, establishing himself as the player Columbus most often looks to for the final pass. His distribution from midfield has been a steady thread through a season that has otherwise been up and down for the Crew.
Dániel Gazdag — M. Gazdag has contributed 3 goals in 15 appearances, giving Columbus a second scoring option to pair with Abou Ali. That combination, when both are on the field together, gives the Crew more than one way to break down a stubborn defense.
