Away [0.7]
-
Reasoning: Philadelphia's aggressive counter-pressing approach under Bradley Carnell has transformed them into first place in the East , while Montreal sit last in the East with no wins, three draws, and just four goals scored through ten MLS games this year .
Recommended Bets
. Philadelphia Union Win
The win marked the first time since September 2020 that the Union earned a road victory in Montréal
, showing they've overcome historical struggles at this venue.
. Under 2.5 Goals
Montreal's only Designated Player Vrioni missed the first nine games of the year with a lower body injury
and
may not yet be fit to go from the start
Value Opportunity
Philadelphia -1.5 Asian Handicap
Montreal fired head coach Laurent Courtois just five matches into the season and "We have more plays in the box, we are more solid in transitions. I am happy that our performances are improving" shows interim coach Donadel is still finding his feet.
Critical Factors
- – .
- – A shift was made to Bradley Carnell and a particular way to play soccer: a high-pressing style that is fast-paced and about as aesthetically pleasing as a car crash. However, when that style works, it's hard to look away from it and the goals and wins it brings
- – .
- – Samuel Piette will likely focus his efforts this week on Quinn Sullivan, who has been the primary attacking spark out of the Union midfield this season. If Piette can stick close to Sullivan, Philadelphia may struggle to progress the ball through midfield
- – .
- – "There is a hint of a trap game about this one, but that's no fun to predict. The Union continue their hot streak, and Montreal's search for a win drags on another week"
Risk Assessment
Medium
"They were coached to go over the top of the predictable press, just like DC United. The Union had no answers for that tactic. The Union started to fall back to prevent getting chipped, then their press started to fall apart and Montreal broke it at will" - Confidence Score: 7
7/10
