We said: CF Montreal 1-0 Orlando City
Because of injuries, numerous Montreal youngsters have been pushed into the spotlight earlier than expected, though they seem to be gelling as a group, while not allowing much space in behind their defence.
Orlando have been a better road team in 2023, but they have not been very consistent from one game to the next, while they have been average at best in the attacking third this season.
