Montreal Impact vs New York Red Bulls Predictions

Montreal Impact played out a 1-1 draw at home to Atlanta United last weekend and will be looking to build upon that result in the final game of the season this Sunday. New York RB have already secured their spot in the playoffs so won’t have minded drawing 0-0 at home to DC United as it means they have gone three games without a defeat.

All of the stats suggest that we will be in for a low-scoring ninety minutes between these two clubs and we’ve backed under 2.5 goals to be scored and have predicted that the pair will play out a 0-0 draw.

There haven’t been many draws between these two teams over the years, just three in twenty-three meetings, but only three of the pairs last seven encounters have seen both teams score and two of Montreal Impact’s last three home games against New York RB have produced under 2.5 goals.

Four of Montreal Impact’s and four of New York RB’s last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals and the hosts have failed to score in two of their last five MLS games, while their guests have failed to score in two of their last five games. Montreal Impact have kept two clean sheets in their last four games in all competitions and New York RB haven’t conceded a single goal in any of their last three matches, so you can see why we’re backing a 0-0 draw between the pair this weekend.

Both teams drew last weekend and under 2.5 goals were produced in each stalemate and neither team has anything of real importance to play for now that Montreal Impact can’t qualify for the playoff places and with New York RB being guaranteed a seven finish in the Eastern Conference table.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Sunday’s clash and have predicted a final scoreline of 0-0. Both teams head into the game in decent form but have little left to play for this season and both have been defensively strong in recent weeks which is why we can see this game ending goalless.
