Montreal vs Real Salt Lake prediction: Arango to lead team to glory

Key Stats

  • Real Salt Lake City are at the top of the table in the Western Conference, with nine victories, six draws, and only two matches lost.
  • Real Salt Lake won the last official game between the two teams.
  • We saw three red cards in the home team’s last three Major League Soccer games, which is surely a plus in favor of our Montreal vs Real Salt Lake predictions.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Saputo Stadium’s advantage not enough

  • HOME: +205 – 31.9%
  • DRAW: +255 – 25.0%
  • AWAY: +125 – 43.1%

*These Montreal vs Real Salt Lake City odds are subject to change

Montreal have the home-field support ahead of the kick-off, but with odds priced at +205, it doesn’t look like that amounts to much. CF Montreal have a lackluster win probability of 31.9%, which automatically makes top-of-the-table Real Salt Lake City the expected winners, with a very high 43.1% win probability. Moreover, we believe Cristian Arango will score, as the Colombian’s odds are valued at +155, giving him a 39.22% chance of finding the net on the 16th of June.

Montreal team news and form: Lassiter’s suspension hits CF Montreal hard

Ariel Lassiter’s red-card suspension will be a huge blow to coach Courtois’ ambitions to avoid defeat on the 16th of June. There are a few players who can fill in the Lassiter-shaped hole, but we doubt they’ll do a fine job.

Predicted lineup: Breza (GK), Alvarez, Corbo, Campbell, Saliba, Teixeira, Piette, Edwards, Ibrahim, Yankov & Duke

Player to watch: Cristian Arango

If Cristian Arango wants to retain his 1st position in the goalscoring department in Major League Soccer, he’d have to prove our Montreal vs Real Salt Lake City predictions correct. Yes, he has 16 goals to his name already, but the likes of Messi are behind him and eager to poach the Top Goalscorer Award away from him.

Arango crushing it with Real Salt Lake

With a three-goal lead on DC United’s Christian Benteke, Arango has a compelling lead. However, Lionel Messi is also close, with 12 goals bagged since the start of the season, so there’s no time for Arango to relax.
