Philadelphia will look to get their first win of the season

Montreal CF host Philadelphia at the Saputo Stadium in the MLS on Sunday, with both sides not having the best start to their season.

Montreal lost their opener 2-0 against Orlando last time out. Wilfried Nancy's side finished 9th in the Eastern Conference last season and will be looking to massively improve this time around.

Philadelphia, on the other hand, started off their season with a 1-1 draw against Minnesota last time out. Jim Curtin's side finished top of the Eastern Conference last time out and will try to replicate their form this season as well.

Both sides are looking for their first win of the season and that should make for an interesting matchup.

It's hard to see Philadelphia drop points on Sunday, given the difference in quality between the two sides. They should be one of the favourites to finish at the top of the Eastern Conference once again.

We predict Philadelphia will win the game comfortably.
