Philadelphia Union vs Montreal Prediction

The Doops have one of the best home records in the MLS this season and are unbeaten in four games so far, with three wins and one game ending in a draw. They have had more shots on target than Toronto but trail on possession and pass accuracy. They are expected to have a better outing at home.

Montreal, meanwhile, have seen a turnaround in their fortunes, recording three wins in a row. They have never recorded three straight wins on their travels, something that's unlikely to happen.

Philaldelphia will be keen on their unbeaten record at home, but Montreal have scored ten goals in their last four games. It's expected to be a closely fought affair and could end in a high-scoring draw.

Prediction: Philadelphia Union 2-2 Montreal.
