Montreal opened its season on its “home” pitch at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. With travel restrictions between Canada and the United States due to COVID-19, Montreal is playing its home games in South Florida. Montreal beat fellow Canada nomad Toronto FC by a 4-2 count in its season opener April 17.
Nashville had a spirited 2-2 draw with FC Cincinnati in its opener. Nashville fell behind 2-0 after the 12′ mark, but F Jhonder Cadiz and MF Randall Leal helped level the score after the 64′ mark, and then the offensive spigot was turned off.

Money line (ML)
NASHVILLE SC (-155) is the play on its home pitch Saturday afternoon. CF Montreal (+400) looked good last weekend against Toronto, and it is a tempting play with a 4-to-1 payoff.
However, Montreal hasn’t started out 2-0-0 in five years, and it lost its only previous head-to-head match with Nashville by a 1-0 count Oct. 27, 2020. Roll with the home side.

Over/Under (O/U)
Both of these clubs showed they can rack up goals in bunches opening weekend. Sure, it is a small sample size, but it’s all we have so far. Play the OVER 2.5 (-125), and perhaps even toss a little on the alternate line of OVER 3.5 (+190) for a chance to nearly double up.
