🗞️ Team News: Montreal Impact

The Montreal Impact boss Hernán Losada will be grateful not to have any fitness worries to speak of ahead of this clash with a completely healthy squad ready to go.

It’s our opinion that Impact look set to use a 3-4-1-2 system this time, handing starts to Jonathan Sirois, Joel Waterman, Rudy Camacho, Kamal Miller, Aaron Herrera, Victor Wanyama, Sean Rea, Lassi Lappalainen, Mathieu Choiniere, Rommel Quioto and Mason Toye.

🗞️ Team News: Philadelphia Union

Due to a mostly full-strength group of players, there is only a single fitness worry for the Philadelphia Union manager Jim Curtin to contend with. Andre Blake (Groin Injury) won’t be playing here.

We are inclined to think that The U appear most likely to elect for a 4-1-2-1-2 system, starting the game with Joe Bendik, Olivier Mbaizo, Jakob Glesnes, Jack Elliott, Kai Wagner, Jose Martinez, Alejandro Bedoya, Leon Flach, Dániel Gazdag, Julián Carranza and Mikael Uhre.

⚡ Prediction

We are of the inclination to think that Philadelphia Union and Montreal Impact may well find themselves both scoring in what promises to be a very even battle here.

Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very close game with a 1-1 score after 90 minutes.
