Key Nashville vs Montreal Betting Tips & Picks

In this article, we will review the upcoming Nashville vs Montreal clash on the 12th of March at GEODIS Park. For our remaining MLS predictions, go to our designated page.

Under 0.5 Montreal Goals

Montreal have scored only four goals against Nashville in the five games that were played between the two teams.

Also, the visitors have yet to score their first 2023 MLS goal and it’ll be surprising to see them reach this milestone at GEODIS Park – one of the more intimidating venues in MLS.

With Nashville in such good form, we just can’t make a case for Montreal to achieve anything significant and even a goal is out of the question.

Nashville/Nashville

Is it really a surprise that our second Nashville vs Montreal prediction is entirely in favor of coach Gary Smith’s boys? The manager himself has an outstanding 3-2-0 record against this opponent and there’s nothing to suggest a victory for the visitors on Sunday.

In fact, with zero points since the start of the 2023 MLS campaign, Montreal are at the bottom of the table in the Eastern Conference and that makes them a natural underdog against any team in the league.

Furthermore, the head-to-head advantage is entirely in favor of the home team. After all, Gary Smith’s side won three games and drew the remaining two to remain unbeaten by Montreal.

Nashville vs Montreal Odds & Head-to-Head News

Being a huge underdog has its perks and while we still don’t think the visitors are capable of anything significant, at least the players will enjoy a pressure-free game on Sunday:

Nashville odds: -120 – 53.0%

Draw odds: +265 – 26.0%

Montreal odds: +315 – 21.0%

Even at +315 (21.0%), we still wouldn’t recommend betting on Montreal on the 12th of March. A Nashville bet at -120 gives you a solid 53.0% likelihood of winning and even a draw at +265 (26.0%) would be smarter than wasting your money on the visitors.

Nashville vs Montreal Lineups & Team News

Nashville

Currently, in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference, Nashville are two points away from the top of the table. Inter Miami and New England Revolution won’t go down without a fight but coach Gary Smith’s boys hold their future in the palm of their hands. All they have to do is get a comfortable result against Montreal on Sunday and they’ll put pressure on Inter Miami and New England Revolution for 1st place.

Predicted lineup – Willis (GK), Lovitz, Zimmerman, Maher, Moore, Davis, Godoy, Shaffelburg, Mukhtar, Picault & Bunbury

Montreal

Yes, Montreal were unlucky to get three back-to-back visits in MLS but you’d think that in the first two, coach Hernan Losada’s boys would’ve at least scored one goal. Having zero points and zero goals after 180 minutes of soccer is definitely not what the fans were hoping for at the beginning of the season and according to our key Nashville vs Montreal predictions, things aren’t going to get much better on Sunday for the visitors.

Predicted lineup – Sirois (GK), Waterman, Camacho, Herrera, Lappalainen, Saliba, Wanyama, Brault-Guillard, Choiniere, Rea & Quioto

Player to Watch: Henry Mukhtar

The 27-year-old striker is enjoying the best form of his life. The 2022 MLS campaign was miraculous for him as he was among the top finishers in the league. With 23 goals in 34 games, Henry Mukhtar averaged 0.68 goals per game and we’re convinced that he’ll be the player to watch on Sunday as our Nashville vs Montreal betting tips become successful.
