In-form Montreal will be gunning for revenge when they host Orlando City on Saturday.
The Impact started the season with a 2-0 defeat in Orlando, the first of three consecutive losses, but are a different prospect now having chalked up a club-record six-game unbeaten run.
Oscar Pareja’s side are also full of confidence, though, and a draw at 3.40 is our opening Montreal vs Orlando City prediction.
Montreal Odds
Montreal sit fourth in the Eastern Conference after battling back from a poor start to the season.
A late Joaquin Torres strike saw them beat Atlanta United 2-1 last Saturday and make it four wins in five games.
After Kamal Miller gave Montreal an early lead, Marcelino Moreno’s goal early in the second half looked to have earned United a point until Torres’ 82nd-minute effort.
Montreal midfielder Djordje Mihailovic told the club’s official website: “Everyone was worried at the start of the season. We were playing in two competitions and having games every three days.
“Once we got into a rhythm, we were good. But we have to keep going. We can’t settle. We have an opportunity in the next few weeks to get on top of the table in the East.
“We must stay grounded, focused and show up to training with the right mindset.”
Eight of the Impact’s nine MLS games this season have seen them find the net and concede so both teams to score is 1.68 in the Montreal vs Orlando City odds.
Orlando City Odds
Orlando City are third in the standings, three points ahead of Montreal having played a game more.
City have won three of their last four matches, beating Charlotte FC 2-1 in their last outing.
Ruan and Facundo Torres netted before former Leicester defender Christian Fuchs halved the deficit on the hour mark with a penalty.
Orlando head coach Pareja told the team’s official website: “It’s good to get back to good results. The victory, the three points, the goals, and the first half are the things I would highlight.
“I’m very pleased with the effort of the players coming off a difficult result and getting this one, it was great.”
Orlando are strong on the road, claiming two wins and two draws, and have beaten the Impact in their last two meetings.
But Wilfried Nancy’s side are in good spirits and a 1-1 draw at 6.75 completes our Montreal vs Orlando City betting tips.
