Correct Score Prediction
1
-
1
Montréal
There are attractive odds of +650 when it comes to a 1-1 draw being played out. This is a risky but potentially more rewarding bet, with this correct score option providing appeal.
Player Prop Picks
Daniel Ríos (Montréal) can be backed at -125 to have at least one shot on goal. He looks like a value bet on the Shots on Target market and we recommend backing this player prop pick.
Hannes Wolf (NYCFC) has scored three goals in his past eight MLS matches on home soil. The odds that he will be an Anytime Goalscorer look attractive considering the numbers and we’ll plump for him to find the net at odds of +200.
