Montreal vs Orlando City
USA – MLS
Date: Saturday, 7 May 2022
Kick-off at 21:00 UK / 22:00 CET
Venue: Saputo Stadium.
Unbeaten in the last 6 league schedules, Montreal Impact is looking forward to carry that momentum against Orlando City. These two sides are set to cross paths at Saputo Stadium, this Saturday.
Orlando City is at the 3rd spot on the standing with 17 points from 10 games. They won 5 times in the league while drawing on 2 and losing on thrice other occasions. The visitors are tally on points with New York Red Bulls and it is due to their goal ratio that they reside above. They score goals fairly but they tend to concede almost the same amount.
The Lions won by 2-1 last weekend, beating Charlotte FC at Exploria Stadium. Throughout their six previous matches, Oscar Pareja’s Orlando City have found the back of the net 9 times, giving them a goals per game average of 1.5.
On the other hand, Montreal resides just below at the 4th position on the table with 14 points. Of the 9 matches played, they won 4 times in the league while drawing on twice and losing on 3 other occasions. They are currently on an undisputed run winning four of the last 5 fixtures but they need some room for improvement in defense as they have 16:18 goal difference.
Montreal Impact will be looking for another win after their 2-1 MLS victory over Atlanta United previously. Having beaten Vancouver and now Atalanta, they’re aiming for three successive victories in Quebec for the first time in almost four years.

Montreal vs Orlando City Prediction
Montreal won the last 2 home games in a row and are on a 6-game unbeaten run in the league. They even collected 14 points from the last 6 games. Even though they started the season going through defeats they are turning the tables now.
Meanwhile, Orlando City are also on a 4-game away unbeaten run in MLS. They even won the last 2 league meetings maintaining a cleansheet.
This upcoming fixture is a tough one as both sides are strong enough to win but considering the home advantage we feel that Montreal could win this on a narrow margin.
