Philadelphia Union to Win
Montreal vs Philadelphia Union predictions in favor of the home team would be a waste of time. The 2022 MLS runner-up is one of Montreal’s worst nightmares over the past few years. After all, the last 10 games between the two teams ended with five victories for Philadelphia Union, three draws, and only two Montreal wins. Montreal’s last victory over their fierce rival was on the 28th of July, 2019.
Over 2.5 Goals
We’ll preface this Montreal vs Philadelphia Union prediction by saying that both sides have major injury issues to deal with. Both teams won’t have their star goalkeepers for the match on Saturday, Montreal’s team captain suffered a groin injury, and key defender George Campbell is out with a nasty ankle injury.
The foundation stones for plenty of goals on the 18th of March are certainly there as the substitutes will hardly be up to par.
Furthermore, six of the last 10 games between the two clubs ended with over 2.5 goals and it’ll be a surprise for the game on Saturday to be any different. After all, not one of those 10 games ended with a goalless tie – the two teams always score against each other.

Montreal vs Philadelphia Union Lineups & Team News
Montreal
If we had to pick one word to describe Montreal’s performance so far this season, that word would be “disappointing”. The Canadians lost twice with a 2-0 result and got pipped with a 1-0 result once. Yes, they have yet to score their first goal and while they had some good opportunities to do so in the three games that were played so far, they failed spectacularly in their attempt.
Predicted lineup – Sirois (GK), Camacho, Miller, Waterman, Lappalainen, Choiniere, Wanyama, Herrera, Rea, Ibrahim & Quioto
Philadelphia Union
Our Montreal vs Philadelphia Union predictions only got more convincing after coach Jim Curtin’s boys thrashed Alianza 4-0 at Subaru Park in the CONCACAF Champions League. Advancing to the next stage with a 4-0 on aggregate, Philadelphia Union are eager to be more consistent in the 2023 MLS as they got so close to winning last year when they got pipped by Los Angeles in the final.
Predicted lineup – Bendik (GK), Wagner, Elliott, Glesnes, Mbaizo, Martinez, Flach, Bedoya, Gazdag, Uhre & Carranza
Starting Lineups

Player to Watch: Daniel Gazdag
With 24 goals in 37 matches last year, Daniel Gazdag came incredibly close to being honored with the Best goalscorer trophy. However, he lost the race to Austin’s Druissi. That being said, we feel comfortable with our Montreal vs Philadelphia Union predictions now that we know he’s fit and ready for action. He already slid it past the goalkeepers twice this season. He should be the one to watch on Saturday as well.
