CF Montréal vs Philadelphia Union Preview and Team News
CF Montréal Team News
Montréal’s bad form has continued into their 10th match of the season. With the 1-0 loss at NY Red Bulls last Saturday, they are still winless with 3 draws and 7 defeats.
Notably, they have managed just 4 goals in the ten matches they have played, the lowest tally in the Eastern Conference. They have also conceded 14 times in this run, highlighting a pair of problems bedeviling them so far this term. They have a weak defense coupled with a very blunt attack.

This combination explains why they are rooted at the bottom of the table with just 3 points out of the available 30.
Montréal will go into their fixture against Philadelphia Union looking to capture the elusive balance in defense and attack. They will bid to limit the damage and fashion some clear-cut chances, and get their maiden win this season. The hosts will have to do this without the injured forward Jules-Anthony Vilsaint, who will be sidelined for the weekend’s match.
CF Montréal predicted lineup vs Philadelphia Union (4-2-3-1): Breza; Petrasso, Alvarez, Campbell, Bugaj; Loturi, Piette; Guboglo, Clark, Sealy; Owusu.
Philadelphia Union Team News
Philadelphia Union have had a decent start to their MLS season. In the opening 10 matches, they have 6 wins, 1 draw, and 3 defeats. They have been brilliant in front of goal, plundering 19 goals so far, underscoring their cutting edge and dynamic attacking play. They have conceded 9 goals, revealing a decent defensive record.
Marrying a good attack and a mean defense has Philadelphia Union sitting third in the Eastern Conference with 19 points, three behind leaders Cincinnati.

However, injuries threaten to derail their fine start. They have five players sidelined for the match against Montréal. The absentees include Markus Anderson, Kai Wagner. Ian Glavinovich, Andre Blake, and Olvier Mbaizo. The focus will be on getting the right balance without these players to maintain their defensive solidity and attacking dynamism against Montréal.
Philadelphia Union predicted lineup vs CF Montréal (4-4-2): Blake; Westfield, Glesnes, Harriel, Wagner; Vassilev, Jacques, Bueno, Sullivan; Baribo, Uhre.
CF Montréal vs Philadelphia Union Prediction
- Pick: Philadelphia Union
- Odds: +152 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: CF Montréal 0-2 Philadelphia Union
Montréal are in poor form. Being winless in their opening 10 matches shows the scale of their struggles so far this season. Further, their inability to score goals has been a major hurdle for them and will continue to be an issue in their clash against Philadelphia Union.
In contrast, Philadelphia have been in decent form, sitting third on the table in the Eastern Conference. Their attack has been especially potent with a high 19 goals, demonstrating innovation in their 4-4-2 attack.
I forecast Philadelphia Union to have what it takes to take the three points and extend Montréal’s winless run to 11 matches,leaving them marooned at the bottom of the table.
CF Montréal vs Philadelphia Union Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Philadelphia Union to win to nil
- Odds: +409 (20Bet)
Montréal have been in poor form in front of goal. Even though they are playing at home, they will struggle to contain one of the most productive attacks this season in the MLS.
This dynamic shows that Philadelphia Union will get on the score sheet. With Montréal having 4 goals to show after 10 matches, they are unlikely to be too much of a threat to the robust Philadelphia Union defense that has let in just 9 goals so far this season.
Expect Philadelphia Union to win this match “to nil,” keeping a clean sheet to bolster their performance and extending their good form.
