2.05Tip and bets
Montreal has recently improved its football quality significantly and is especially strong at home – 29 of the 43 points scored in the regular tournament were scored at home. In this situation, it makes sense to take a risk and give preference to the hosts, Atlanta does not have superiority in class and has lost to the Canadians in the last two meetings, and there are regular problems away from home.
We believe that the hosts have a better chance of winning. Forecast - Asian handicap (0) on Montreal . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.79
Bet on total
Montreal is not known for its sky-high scoring by MLS standards – of all the representatives of the top nine of the Eastern Conference, only Charlotte and Atlanta have scored fewer goals. However, today it makes sense to count on goals from the hosts – they regularly score against the “five-striped” team, and in general they often take risks at home. Atalanta will also be forced to take risks, there are high-level players ahead, the match will certainly be productive.
Bet - total over 2.5 goals. This bet is offered for 1.69
Bet on corners
Montreal will probably play first number at home and spend a lot of time on the attack, but Atlanta is quite capable of responding. There should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.71
