Montreal Impact vs Philadelphia Union Predictions

Top of the Eastern Conference Philadelphia Union make the trip to Canada this weekend to face a Montreal Impact side that have seen their form take a dip over the last month. Nine points separate the league leaders and Montreal Impact in sixth, with Sunday’s hosts boasting a very poor -11 goal difference in the MLS so far this season.

Montreal Impact went behind in the sixth minute during their trip to Columbus Crew but levelled things up through Giallo in first-half stoppage time. However, the hosts restored their lead a minute into the second half and shortly after former Arsenal defender Sangna was sent-off, leaving the visitors with a mountain they simply could not climb and the scoreline ended 2-1.

Philadelphia Union had the lion’s share of the overall possession at home to Chicago Fire last time out but the visitors managed to get more shots on target during the ninety minutes. However, an eleventh-minute strike from Fabián was followed up by a second goal from substitute Fontana twenty-five minutes from time and lead to a comfortable 2-0 victory for Philadelphia Union in the end.

The recent encounters between these two clubs and the form and performances of both sides over the last six weeks, all points towards a Philadelphia Union win and a good chance the visitors will keep a clean sheet in the process. Philadelphia Union have won three of their last five matches against Montreal Impact and five of the last six meetings between the two clubs have ended in a win to nil. Montreal Impact have lost four of their last six matches, while Philadelphia Union have won two of their last four in the MLS.
