Saturday night MLS action brings us to Audi Field, where DC United hosts CF Montreal in what could be a lively encounter. With odds of 1.83 for a home win, 3.85 for a draw, and 3.95 for an away victory, the bookmakers lean toward DC United. But is that the best value bet? Let’s break it down.

Our AI has crunched the numbers and found that the best betting tip for this match is over 2.5 goals, priced at 1.57 with a confidence rating of 3.8/10. Why? Well, 58.1% of MLS matches historically see at least three goals, and both sides have had their fair share of high-scoring affairs.

Interestingly, the AI’s 1X2 prediction leans towards X2 (draw or Montreal win) with odds of 1.98, though confidence is low at 2.0/10. This suggests that while DC United is favored, Montreal could surprise—just as they did against Atlanta United when they won 1-2 as 5.0 underdogs.

Statistically, DC United is expected to dominate possession at 51%, take 15 shots (with 5 on target), and win 7 corners. Meanwhile, Montreal is projected to have 9 shots (3 on target) and 4 corners. With these numbers, a goal-fest isn’t out of the question.

Last time these two met (March 2024), DC United edged a 1-0 win, but Montreal has improved since. The expected final score is 1-2, suggesting the visitors could pull off another upset.

Given that 79.6% of MLS games see over 1.5 goals, and 58.1% surpass the 2.5 mark, backing over 2.5 goals at 1.57 looks like the smartest play. If you're feeling adventurous, a Montreal double chance (X2) at 1.98 could also provide value.

With both teams showing unpredictability in recent months, expect an entertaining clash. Will DC United’s higher squad value (€61.17m vs. €29.42m) make the difference, or will Montreal’s fighting spirit prevail? One thing’s for sure—goals should be on the menu!
