Philadelphia Union vs CF Montreal Prediction: There are no guarantees

Philadelphia Union are back in action and they will play their next game against CF Montreal at the Subaru Park. 

Philadelphia Union are hoping to put an end to what seems to be a disaster run in the last couple of weeks. Philadelphia have won just 1 win in their last 5 league games and only recently played a draw last week. While CF Montreal ended a 4-match winless run last week. They have also been in very poor form for sometime and they need to build on their last win.

According to current rankings, Philadelphia Union is 8th on the Eastern Conference table having 19 points while CF Montreal is 13th having 16 points.

Philadelphia Union have been nothing short of a disappointment so far with their latest results. Philadelphia won only 1 game in their last 9 games in a row. And in their last 5 games, their results were:- 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Clearly the club is in a dire situation and the signs of a turnaround is slim to none. 

Philadelphia were up against Toronto FC last week, a game they had hoped to win, but they played a goalless draw instead. It was a tough game for both sides as they labored to go ahead but failed until the very end. According to stats, Philadelphia had 49% possession, 1 big chances created, 5 corner kicks and 1 shot on target. It was another disappointing performance yet again from Philadelphia Union.

CF Montreal were among the big winners in the last round of games, as they ended up beating DC United 4-2 last week. The team had been through a rough couple of weeks, when they failed to win in 7 games in a row. Records of their last 5 league games show they had 3 defeats, 1 draw and 1 win. 

CF Montreal were pleased with their performance against DC United last week and the result was huge for them. Ariel Lassiter opened the scoring in the 6th minute, while Ibrahim Sanusi scored a brace in the 34’ and 73’ minutes and Mathieu Choiniere scored once in the 38’ minute. And for DC United, they got 2 goals in the 29’ and 42’ minutes through Cristian Benteke. The game ended 4-2 in favor of CF Montreal. According to stats, CF Montreal had 54% possession, 4 big chances created, 4 corner kicks and 6 shots on target.

According to the record of their last 20 meetings against each other, Philadelphia Union won 8 games while Montreal won 6 and 6 games ended as a draw.

Philadelphia Union are currently in a poor cycle and it's a huge risk to bet on them against any other team. Although there's a chance they will get back at some point but it's unclear when that is going to happen. Montreal are also not in great form despite the win over DC United. With both sides struggling in recent weeks, this game looks like a close game.
