A traditional home win, the away team claims the win or a score draw? It's all possible when the mid-table teams Montreal Impact and Orlando City battle at Stade Saputo.

Insights:
  • Montreal Impact have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Orlando City have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There haven't been much to rest for the team playing at home, as they performed in a Major League Soccer match only four days earlier. This match was also played here at Stade Saputo. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Orlando City have had more rest.

Orlando City have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Montreal Impact form and stats

Montreal Impact have played 16 Major League Soccer games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 9-4-3 (wins-draws-losses).

A nice win for Montreal last time playing, versus Houston Dynamo. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Rudy Camacho and Kamal Miller scoring for the victors. Rudy Camacho, defender, was given a rating of 8.1/10 in that game, top of the team. Camacho scored one goal and won 4 of 5 duels.

Prior to that, an away loss at New York RB.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Montreal have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won six times, drawn three and lost three.

The Montreal fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 29 goals in 16 league matches. 21 goals have been conceded.

The visitors are W4-D5-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Major League Soccer.

Orlando's last game was the home draw against Nashville SC (1-1). Goalkeeper Pedro Gallese made a total of seven saves, making him a hero against Nashville SC. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes. Midfield player Nani was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.04/10. Nani hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 44 successful passes (of 52 total).

Prior to that match, the Orlando City manager Ó. Pareja Gómez faced defeat when travelling to Columbus Crew and losing 2-3.

We have checked recent matches where Orlando have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were two victories, one draw and four defeats.

Orlando have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 19 goals have been scored. Orlando struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 30 goals conceded from these games.
