Last Game: Nashville 2-0 Montreal
Sunday, March 12 at 1.30am in Major League Soccer

We said: CF Montreal 0-1 Philadelphia Union

Even with little time to rest for this encounter, we do not expect the Union backline to have much trouble containing a Montreal side still struggling to make that decisive final pass. Philadelphia were the top defensive unit in the league last season for a reason, they are experienced and well-organised at the back, while we believe there will be too many attacking weapons for the home team to handle this weekend.
