Prediction
Orlando City SC 2, Montreal Impact 1
Moneyline (ML)
ORLANDO CITY SC (+100) is even-money in this one. Who woulda thunk it? Not much was expected of the purple-clad group, even if they are considered the unofficial “home” team in the Central Florida bubble.
They looked championship caliber in the group stages, going 2-0-1 with a plus-3 goal differential. They played a hard-fought 1-1 draw against the Philadelphia Union Tuesday, showing their championship mettle. Montreal (+260), on the other hand, eeked into the Round of 16 despite losses in two of three Group C contests. Momentum is on the side of OCSC.
You can also still bet Draw or Tie (+270), as you’d be a winner after full time, regardless of who would win in extra time or penalty kicks.
A winning $10 wager on Orlando City SC (+100) to win outright nets a profit of $10. A $10 wager on Montreal (+260) to win would net a profit of $26, while a Draw or Tie (+270) would fetch a $27 profit.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 2.5 (-162) is a little on the steep side, but we have seen it before with these two on the same pitch. In fact, five of the past six in this series have seen at least three goals, including an Orlando City 3-0 win in the most recent meeting (June 1, 2019).
