Our prediction for this MLS match:
Orlando City will be aiming to bounce back from a heavy 5-2 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps when they take on fellow Canadian side Montreal Impact at Stade Saputo. The Lions obviously suffered a dip in form and seeing that they conceded ten goals in previous three league fixtures, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors. Orlando City experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the 5-2 loss to the Whitecaps, with the team extending their losing run on the road to three games. Montreal Impact, on the other hand, suffered a 2-0 loss to Dallas on the road in their last league fixture, but seeing that they defeated Houston Dynamo at home earlier in June, we predict the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Thursday’s football match.
