CF Montreal vs DC United Prediction: Home side to do the double

DC United travel to face CF Montreal in the Saputo Stadium. CF Montreal will look forward to a follow-up of their latest wins to keep the chase for the top spot and DC United have little time to turn their season around with a win in as many as 4 matches. CF Montreal have already beaten DC United already this season. That match ended 2-1 courtesy of Romell Quioto's first half double. DC United were only capable of pulling one goal back in the 56th minute courtesy of a goal from Steve Birnbaum. DC United were quite unfortunate in that game having registered more shots (5) than the CF Montreal team.

CF Montreal are coming back to form currently. They have not lost in their last 4 games in the MLs and they have won their last 2 matches. Last time out they beat New England Revolution 1-0. After a very boring first half, Alistair Johnson scored the only goal in the 72nd minute to give CF Montreal a narrow win. CF Montreal were the better side in the match having more of the possession (60%) and registering the same shots on target as the hosts (3). 

CF Montreal have already defeated DC United once already away from home. Playing in front of their fans might give them the extra boost to do the double against DC United. 

CF Montreal have no losses in 4 matches and in ⅘ matches, less than 10.5 corners have been played.

Djordje Mihailovic is currently suspended and is unavailable for selection while Lassi Lappalainen, Ahmed Hamdi and Tomas Giraldo are sidelined due to injures.

DC United are the poorest team in the Eastern Conference. They are without a win in their last 4 matches and have lost their last 2 matches. DC United lost 3-2 to Inter Miami in their last match. Christian Benteke's opener in the 22nd minute was canceled out by Leonardo Campana in the 39th minute. Both teams went into the break with a draw and Leonardo Campana scored his second in the 53rd minute. 3 minutes later Taxiarchis Fountas drew DC United level until the 94th minute when Gonzalo Higuain snatched a late win for Inter Miami.

Expert Betting Tips

CF Montreal have the advantage here. DC United have had a horrible season for quite some time now and I don't see any redemption for Wayne Rooney's Men. Playing away from home even makes things worse for DC United. So I don't see any chance for DC United picking a win here. CF Montreal are the real deal and an outright win for the home side is likely.
