Philadelphia Union vs CF Montreal Preview and Team News
Philadelphia Union Team News
Sitting at the top of the table, the Philadelphia Union boast a big advantage over their opponents, even though they have some tidying up to do in their defensive duties.
The home team usually play in a 4-4-2 formation, which puts a lot of emphasis on keeping possession of the ball. The Union have won their last game 2-0 against the New York Red Bulls, which must’ve given them a huge morale boost.

In that encounter, the squad took a whopping 17 shots and posted an xG of 2.38. One can expect them to continue in the same vein of form while passing with fluidity against Montreal as well. The weight of the passes their midfielders provide while creating chances is what separates Philadelphia from their opponents in the league.
Manager Bradley Carnell places strong emphasis on defensive structure, which has helped the Union keep two clean sheets in their last four outings. Against Montreal, they’ll have to make do without the services of Ian Glavinovich, Jesus Bueno, and Mikael Uhre, who have all been sidelined due to injuries.
Philadelphia Union predicted lineup vs CF Montreal (4-4-2): Blake; Wagner, Makhanya, Glesnes, Harriel; Vassilev, Lukic, Jacques, Sullivan; Damiani, Donovan.
CF Montreal Team News
Montreal, sitting at the bottom of the league table, have done little right and aren’t likely to expect much from this matchup either. Almost nothing has gone their way this season, which explains their position at the foot of the standings.
All three of the team’s departments – attack, midfield, and defense – have failed miserably, and they’re in desperate need of a pick-me-up. Adding to their woes, Montreal have two major injuries in their lineup: both Giacomo Vrioni and Jalen Neal have been sidelined.

The Canadian side haven’t won once in their last three outings, picking up two draws and one loss instead. Their forwards haven’t been in good form, either, scoring just six goals in their last five matches. Still, Tom Pearce has the most shots on target per game (1.2), and Luca Petrasso has created the most big chances for Montreal (5).
Defensively, the squad have been in shambles all season, as they’ve already conceded 41 goals. However, their away record offers a slight silver lining, with two wins from 12 fixtures on the road this season.
CF Montreal predicted lineup vs Philadelphia Union (4-3-3): Sirois; Bugaj, Craig, Alvarez, Petrasso; Loturi, Piette, Pearce; Clark, Owusu, Synchuk.
Philadelphia Union vs CF Montreal Prediction
- Pick: Philadelphia Union to win
- Odds: -196 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Philadelphia Union 3-0 CF Montreal
Philadelphia come into this clash as clear favorites. They have a much stronger attacking unit than Montreal, giving them an advantage in the final third. The visitors are no better than minnows in front of the Union.
The hosts are also more disciplined in midfield, which gives them the confidence to build play through passing and find the right personnel who can convert them into goals. This strategic brilliance allows Philadelphia to dominate proceedings – across 32 matches against Montreal, they’ve gone unbeaten in 21.
Philadelphia Union vs CF Montreal Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2.5 goals
- Odds: -167 (20Bet)
We expect the upcoming game to feature a total of over 2.5 goals. Five of their last six head-to-head matches have hit that mark, and there’s every reason to believe this one will as well.
Given Philadelphia’s superior quality, we also expect them to have an upper hand in the attacking third. With their usage of crosses, lobbed balls, and weighted passes, they are more than likely to find the back of the net while breaking through the Montreal defense.
