Our prediction for this MLS match:
CF Montreal will look to recover from the CONCACAF League Cup loss to Puebla when they restart their MLS campaign with a home game against Atlanta United. The Canadians have won only one game of their last five league matches and, no doubt, they are eager to get back on course in the Major League Soccer. Defender Joel Waterman is banned for the match, while forward Fabian Herbers remains in the recovery room.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Atlas in the CONCACAF League Cup. Atlanta United are likely to stick to their attacking style of play and given Montreal’s desire to get back on course in MLS, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Midfielder Trinidad & Tobago Ajani Fortune continues to miss out with injury for the away team.
