Philadelphia Union vs Montreal Impact Predictions

Philadelphia Union have picked up ten points from their opening seven matches of the new season, while this weekends guests Montreal Impact have one more point to their name and have played the same amount of games. The hosts four match unbeaten run came to an end last weekend away at LA Galaxy, while the visitors kept a third straight clean sheet when they took on Columbus Crew.

Ibrahimović scored the only two goals of the game in the first half as LA Galaxy beat Philadelphia Union 2-0 at Dignity Health Sports Park. Philadelphia Union only managed two shots on target during the ninety minutes, had defender Trusty sent-off for a second bookable offence late on, and didn’t deserve anything from the match. Montreal Impact got lucky at home to Columbus Crew last weekend, as the visitors had more shots, more corners, and more of the overall possession. However, a solitary second half strike from Novillo proved enough for Montreal Impact to claim all three points against the run of play.

The recent head to head record between these two clubs and their performances over the last few weeks, suggest that Montreal Impact will avoid defeat in Philadelphia and could pinch all three points. Montreal Impact have won four of their last six matches against Philadelphia Union, and four of the last five meetings between the pair have ended in a win to nil. Montreal Impact are unbeaten in their last three matches and have kept three clean sheets in each of those games. Philadelphia Union have failed to score in two of their last six matches, while Montreal Impact have picked up two wins and one draw from their last four away games. All of the above makes a double chance bet on the visitors well worth backing this weekend, and we are predicting a final scoreline of 1-0 to the Canadians.

Accam top scores for Chicago Fire with three goals in the MLS this season, while Piatti and Taïder also have three goals to their name and joint top score for Montreal Impact. We’re confident that Montreal Impact will take something from Saturday’s game and have backed the visitors with a double chance bet. The visitors have a good recent record against their hosts and head into the match on the back of three clean sheets, and that’s why we’re predicting a final score of 1-0 in favour of the Canadians.
