Montréal vs Atlanta United Game Winner
Montreal suffered a rare defeat on home soil last weekend. The 1-0 loss to New York City ended a run of six successive home victories all of which had come without conceding a goal.
Atlanta opened their away fixtures with a 3-0 defeat of Charlotte. Since then the Five Stripes have failed to win any of their nine road games. The last of which was a 4-0 thrashing at New York Red Bulls.
Expect the New York City defeat to be a blip and a Montreal win a confident way to start our predictions for this match.
Handicap Predictions
For those looking for a big price, you can get it by playing Montreal -1 on the Asian Handicap.
Here you will get a win at odds of 5/2 with Bet9ja if the Impact win by two or more goals. Something they have done in four of their last seven MLS home games.
If they win by only one goal, your stakes will be refunded.
Correct Score Prediction
Montreal have only conceded four goals in the 10 league games played in their Saputo Stadium this term. They have kept six clean sheets so the first part of the correct score equation is for Atlanta not to score.
With 2-0 landing in three of those games, it looks like the best scoreline to add to our picks. Atlanta average 2.2 goals conceded per away league game in the stats so gives further weight to our selection.
1×2 Predictions
Montreal has been very strong at home this season. Winning seven of their nine games played in front of their own fans.
They will be determined to get back to winning ways against an Atlanta side that have just one away win to their name this term. Expect them to get the job done and are a confident addition to my Montreal vs Atlanta United tips.
Over/Under Predictions
Much of Montreal’s success has come as a result of their strong defence. Conceding only four times in contributing to an overall average of just 2.11 goals per home game.
Expect the home side to control this game. Seven of their nine home games have seen two or fewer goals including seven of the last eight. Based on those stats I am taking this one to be under 2.5 goals as well.
Our Analysis of the Montréal vs Atlanta United Game
Montreal have picked up 21 of their 26 points this season at home. The defeat to New York City last time out ended a run of six straight wins on home soil. All of this leaves them holding on to the last playoff place in the Eastern Conference.
Atlanta has struggled away from home with just one win so far this campaign. That win came on their first attempt with four defeats and five draws following that victory over Charlotte. The main problem is in defence where they have conceded 22 goals.
Usually, we highlight attacking players to be key. But the form of goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois has been vital for Montreal.
The 22-year-old has made 63 saves this season which is the sixth-highest in the MLS. He has kept eight clean sheets, also the sixth highest with four of those coming in the last seven games.

Kwadwo Opoku was the subject of a headline-grabbing switch to Montreal from Los Angeles FC this week. The 21-year-old scored eight league goals for LAFC last season and has added two more this term.
The Ghanaian will add much-needed pace to the Montreal attack. He could go straight into the starting lineup with Romell Quioto still out injured.
