Prediction: 3-0
Montreal Impact
New York Red Bulls were not into action at the weekend as they faced Guadalajara in the CONCACAF Champions League on Thursday evening. The Metros have been having their ups and downs at the start of the 2018 MLS campaign, with the team recording two wins, while suffering two defeats to date. New York RB undisputedly produce much better performances at home than on the travels, which is giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Saturday’s football match against Montreal Impact. The Canadian outfit experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to New England at the weekend and, no doubt, they are eager to give fans some cheer. However, seeing that the Metros are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict Bradley Wright-Phillips, who has been scoring goals for fun at the start of the season, and his teammates are going to pick up all three points from the match.
Highlighted Player (Felipe):
Felipe Campanholi Martins is a Brazilian footballer who was born on September 30, 1990 in Engenheiro Beltrao. After playing for the likes of PSTC-Londrina, Atletico Catarinense and Campo Grande during his youth career, he started his senior career at Padova. The Brazilian midfielder appeared in no more than four league matches for the Italian club and in 2009 he moved to Switzerland, signing a deal with FC Winterthur. At the end of the season he joined fellow Swiss Super League club Lugano and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular. In the winter of 2011 Felipe moved to MLS, signing a deal with expansion team Montreal Impact. He scored his first MLS goal in a 2-0 win over Sporting Kansas City on May 5, 2012 and he has been playing an important role in the team ever since. Felipe has yet to represent Brazil at senior level, but he could play for Canada national team in the future as he applied for permanent residency.
Highlighted Team (Montreal Impact):
Montreal Impact are a Canadian soccer team, but they compete in Major League Soccer. The Impact are a member of the Eastern Conference and they have been participating in the major league since 2012. Montreal welcome their opponents at Saputo Stadium and the capacity of the club’s home ground is 20.801. The construction of the stadium cost CA$17 million and the venue was opened on May 18, 2008. The Saputo family invested $7.5 million in the construction of the stadium and, as a result, the venue was named Saputo Stadium. Montreal Impact did remarkably well to make it to the CONCACAF Champions League final in the 2014/2015 season, but Mexican team America proved to be a big catch for the Canadian outfit in the title game. Speaking of the Canadian championship, the Impact won their third domestic trophy in 2014, with the team beating Toronto FC in the final of the tournament. Montreal Impact play their home matches in blue and black shirts and black shorts, while the colour of their away kit is white.
