Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think it's unlikely that this game will have 4+ goals, and the odds and stats align with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. NY City and Montreal have seldom been involved in thrillers of late, whether that be in Major League Soccer individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.25.

Goal Statistics

An absolutely dreadful PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Montreal Impact fans, as should a 10 Major League Soccer matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
