CF Montreal desperately need points on Sunday, Sep 6 at 1:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Philadelphia Union come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). CF Montreal travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Philadelphia Union won their last outing, while CF Montreal suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours Philadelphia Union here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against CF Montreal, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in CF Montreal won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Philadelphia Union look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though CF Montreal will make it uncomfortable. Philadelphia Union to win.
