My Prediction
Philadelphia Union by 1Well, Scott, it seems like we've got an interesting matchup at hand! The Philadelphia boys in blue seem to be on top of their game, with a decent flock of goalkeepers. Let's take a peek at the stats. Andre Blake with a solid score of 7.57 and 11 saves in his kitty - there's a guy who knows what he's doing. Andrew Rick too, not too far behind, showing signs of promise.
But let's not forget about our friends up north in Montreal. With Sebastian Breza and Jonathan Sirois between the sticks, their defence isn't looking too shabby either. Now on to the players.
Standouts from the Union, you've got Ian Glavinovich, Kai Wagner, and Nathan Harriel holding the central line. The rating alone speaks for their performance. It's not all bad news on Montreal's side either. George Campbell and Hennadiy Synchuk are definitely creating some chaos on the field.
Now, for the sake of a good bet, let's crunch some numbers. Past matchups between these two are leaning towards the Philly boys, who've come out on top of more bouts than they have been at the receiving end.
Looking at the regular season records, Union seem to have an upper hand, and their recent sweeps against DC United and Atlanta United FC have only added some oomph to their stride! Meanwhile, Montreal's scorecard has had a rough start - not much in terms of wins. If their recent game against New York Red Bulls is indicative of anything, it's that they could really use some wind at their backs right about now.
All said and done, this is just information. The magic happens on the field. And with the slightly better odds, I'm predicting:
