We said: Austin FC 2-0 CF Montreal
Both sides enjoyed fantastic campaigns last year, but with Montreal losing key players in the off-season, we think that Austin will take the three points here.
The Verde and Black will be looking to respond to last week's defeat, and we think that they will have too much firepower for Montreal.
