Model notes

Claude Opus 4.8

Columbus hold home advantage and a slight edge in quality over a struggling CF Montreal side sitting near the bottom of the East, though Montreal's historical scoring record against the Crew and both teams' modest defenses point to a competitive game with goals.

Claude Opus 5

Columbus are modest this season but hold a clear home-field edge over a CF Montreal side that has the East's second-worst road-adjusted record and a -11 goal difference. Montreal historically score against Columbus, so a narrow home win with goals at both ends is the most likely outcome, with the draw well in play.

DeepSeek V4 Pro

Columbus have home advantage but are missing top scorer Wessam Abou Ali and are only narrowly ahead of Montreal in the Eastern Conference standings. Both sides are low-scoring and defensively vulnerable, so a tight, drawish game is likely, with 1-1 the most probable scoreline.

Gemini 3.1 Pro

Columbus Crew holds a slight edge in the standings and goal difference over a struggling CF Montreal side. With home advantage and Montreal's leaky defense (36 goals conceded in 19 matches), the Crew are favored to secure a narrow victory.

Gemini 3.6 Flash

Columbus Crew hold strong home-field advantage against a CF Montreal side that has conceded 36 goals in 19 matches this season. While both teams are fighting to stay in the playoff picture, Columbus's superior structure and goal-scoring threat at Lower.com Field should edge out a narrow victory.

Gemini 3.7 Flash

Columbus Crew hold home advantage at Lower.com Field against a CF Montreal side that has struggled defensively this season, conceding 36 goals in 19 matches.

Gemma 4 31B

Columbus Crew has a poor record this season (11th place) and CF Montreal is similarly struggling (13th), suggesting a low-quality encounter. Montreal's strong historical scoring record against Columbus and both teams' defensive vulnerabilities point toward a high probability of a draw.

Muse Spark 1.2

Columbus at Lower.com Field get a clear home edge over a Montreal side with the poorer defensive record, but both average ~1.3-1.4 goals scored; Montreal have scored in 14 of last 16 vs Columbus, so a narrow BTTS home win is most likely.

MiniMax M3

Both clubs are struggling in the Eastern Conference (Columbus 20pts, Montreal 17pts) with porous defenses (31 and 36 goals conceded), but Columbus enjoys home advantage at Lower.com Field and the slight edge in overall record. Montreal's historical record of finding the net in 14 of 16 past H2H meetings suggests a consolation goal is likely, supporting a 2-1 home win as the most likely scoreline.

Mistral Large 3

Columbus Crew hold a slight edge in form and home advantage, with stronger underlying metrics in attack and defense. However, CF Montreal's recent history of scoring against Columbus and their resilience in away fixtures make them a credible threat, increasing the likelihood of a competitive draw.

Kimi K2.6

Columbus Crew enjoy home advantage and sit higher in the Eastern Conference standings with playoff positioning at stake, while CF Montreal have struggled for consistency this season; yet Montreal's historical tendency to score against Columbus suggests both teams will likely find the net in an open contest.

Kimi K3

Columbus holds a slight edge over Montreal in the table (20 vs 17 pts, better goal difference) and gets home advantage at Lower.com Field, while Montreal's leaky defense (36 conceded in 19) is vulnerable on the road. However, both sides are in poor overall form this season and Montreal has historically scored against the Crew (14 of last 16 meetings), so a competitive match with goals on both sides is expected, making a narrow 2-1 home win the most likely scoreline with the draw a live possibility.

Nemotron 3 Ultra

Columbus holds home advantage at Lower.com Field where Montreal have a dismal 3-11-3 all-time record; the Crew's superior goal difference (+4 vs -11) and recent Leagues Cup form outweigh Montreal's two straight home draws, though Owusu's scoring streak and Courtois's familiarity with his former side keep the draw probability elevated.

GPT-5.6 Sol

Columbus have the stronger defensive record and home advantage, giving them the overall edge. However, both sides have struggled for consistency, and Montreal's scoring history in this matchup makes a 1-1 draw the likeliest individual scoreline.

Qwen3.7 Plus

Columbus holds a modest home advantage and sits three points above Montreal in the Eastern Conference, but both sides are in the bottom third with poor records (Crew 5W-5D-9L, Montreal 4W-5D-10L). Montreal historically scores in this fixture (14 of last 16 H2H), keeping it competitive, but Columbus's home edge and slightly better defensive record should see them edge a narrow win.

Grok 4.5

Columbus hold a modest edge in points, goal difference and home venue against a leaky Montreal side that concedes freely; both attack modestly so a narrow home win is the clearest single outcome while the draw remains honestly likely between two mid-to-lower table sides.

MiMo v2.5-Pro

Columbus are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Montreal (4-0-3) and have a stronger home defensive record, while Montreal have scored only 3 goals in their last 5 matches and concede heavily on the road (22 of 36 goals conceded away). Both teams are in the lower half of the table and struggling, giving the draw a realistic chance, but Columbus's home advantage and historical dominance tilt the balance.

GLM-5.2

Columbus hold a slight edge in points and goal difference while enjoying home advantage at Lower.com Field, though both sides have struggled this season. Montreal's leaky defense (36 goals conceded in 19) and historical tendency to concede against Columbus tip it toward a narrow home win, but the draw remains a credible outcome given Columbus's own inconsistency.
