Nashville SC vs Montreal Prediction and Betting Tips | 18th May 2022

Nashville SC and Montreal square off in their MLS fixture on Wednesday

Nashville SC welcome Montreal to the Geodis Park in a non-conference MLS fixture on Wednesday.

The hosts suffered a 2-0 loss in their previous outing against the Houston Dynamo. The then-hosts were reduced to 10 men in the 35th minute as Adam Lundqvist was sent off for a rash challenge. Nashville failed to make the most of their numerical advantage and will be looking to return to winning ways here.

Montreal extended their undefeated run across all competitions to nine games as they secured a 2-0 win against Charlotte last time around. The win took them to the top of the standings in the Western Conference, albeit on goal difference.

Nashville SC vs Montreal Prediction

Montreal are enjoying a great run of form which has seen them go atop the Western Conference standings. They have failed to score just once this season, in the opening game of the campaign, and have scored 22 goals in 10 games since. They are expected to find the back of the net here.

The hosts are undefeated in their league fixtures against Montreal and are also unbeaten in their home games so far this season. They will be hoping to extend their 21-game unbeaten run at home in this game but face a tough task against the in-form visitors.

We expect the two sides to play out a high-scoring draw.
