Two teams that were involved in high-scoring action last time out will clash at Saputo Stadium on Saturday evening, when the CF Montreal boys will be hoping to continue winning after beating the New York Red Bulls by four goals to one. Looking to resume winning ways following what was a crazy 4-4 tie against Cincinnati will be NYCFC. Having seen their city rivals take a battering in Montreal just a few days ago, they'll be hoping to do better. 

It's been high-scoring stuff from both teams in recent weeks, with both teams looking very threatening in the final third. Both teams have also looked a little defensively shaky, keeping very few clean sheets between them, which means that both should be happy to take a front-footed approach on Saturday, leaving us to conclude that more goals are on the menu, so much so that 'Over 2.5 Goals' is well worth taking all the time odds of -149 are on offer. Such odds will likely shorten as kick-off approaches.

Our CF Montreal vs New York City Prediction

Given what we've seen from these two teams of late, with both the hosts and the visitors scoring four goals last time out, it's easy to conclude that the early market is underestimating the likelihood of relatively high-scoring game. If we consider all factors, especially the stats above, considering that both teams are thriving in the final third right now, then a more reasonable price for 'Over 2.5 Goals' would be -175, meaning that it's absolutely worth taking odds of -149.

Our CF Montreal vs New York City FC Pick: Over 2.5 Goals.
