Essential Montreal vs Orlando City Betting Tips & Picks
In this article, we’ll review the upcoming Eastern Conference Montreal vs Orlando City clash on the 7th of May. Stay tuned if you want to get our top Montreal vs Orlando City predictions.
Contents
Draw or Orlando City
A solid first plus in favor of our Montreal vs Orlando City pick is the fact that the visitors have a slight head-to-head advantage. The last 10 showdowns between the two clubs ended with four Montreal wins, one draw, and five Orlando City victories.
Furthermore, the Lions have a huge advantage in terms of managerial experience. Oscar Pareja has had his fair share of business against Montreal. His 10-1-4 record over Montreal speaks for itself and we’re sure he’ll want to boost it up even further on Sunday.
Under 2.5 Goals
Our second Montreal vs Orlando City prediction isn’t going to be enjoyed by those of you who anticipated the clash at Saputo Stadium the whole week. Six of the last 10 Montreal vs Orlando City head-to-heads ended with under 2.5 goals and seeing as there’s not much that separates the two clubs these days, we believe Sunday’s brawl will be mainly a battle at the center of the pitch with the two goalkeepers not having much to do. A good argument for this tip is the fact that Montreal managed to brush the rustiness aside and earn a clean sheet over lackluster Sporting Kansas City last week.

Montreal odds: +125 – 43.0%
Draw odds: +240 – 28.0%
Orlando City odds: +220 – 29.0%
There’s a 58.0% chance we’ll see under 2.5 goals on the 7th of May between Montreal and Orlando City. The Lions are the underdogs in this race at +220 (29.0%) but we believe they have more arguments to win this brawl. Montreal are the expected winners at +125 as they have a solid 43.0% win probability but seeing as the team is almost at the bottom of the table, we can’t make a case for coach Hernan Losada’s side.
Montreal vs Orlando City Lineups & Team News
Montreal
With 17 goals conceded and only seven scored, Montreal simultaneously have the 2nd-worst backline in the Eastern Conference and the absolute worst attacking record. That sort of lackluster display is the reason why coach Hernan Losada’s boys are orbiting toward the bottom of the table.
Predicted lineup – Sirois (GK), Waterman, Camacho, Corbo, Herrera, Wanyama, Choiniere, Lassiter, Offor, Rea & Duke
Orlando City
The Lions pipped LA Galaxy 2-0 last week and earned themselves 8th place before the Montreal clash on Sunday. With 10 goals scored and 10 conceded, Orlando City’s 2023 MLS performance can only be described as unconvincing. If our Montreal vs Orlando City predictions are to succeed, coach Oscar Pareja’s boys should kick it up a notch.
Predicted lineup – Gallese (GK), Halliday, Carlos, Jansson, Smith, Cartagena, Angulo, Araujo, Ojeda, Torres & Kara

Player to Watch: Jonathan Sirois
We can excuse Jonathan Sirois’ poor goalkeeping form with his fragile age. The 21-year-old has his entire career ahead of him and we shouldn’t be quick to judge him for the 17 goals he conceded in the 2023 MSL race.
Sure, Montreal have the poorest defensive record but we can’t put all the blame on Sirois as the defenders have been making crucial errors in pretty much every game so far. However, Sirois did earn himself a clean sheet last week versus Sporting Kansas City. Perhaps Orlando City are counting that hammering away from distance will once again be enough for the three points but Sirois’ soaring confidence might make it difficult for the Lions.
