Friday was the first day without games in Major League Soccer's summer tournament since the event kicked off on July 8.  The action kicks off again in this MLS is Back Tournament with the Round of 16.  Considering Major League Soccer represented the first return of a major US sports league after 4 months without sports due to a global pandemic, the television ratings have been lackluster.  

From the Inquirer:

The league said Thursday that MLS’ viewership this month is up 7% over July 2019, which counts for something because the league traditionally gets its biggest spotlight in mid-summer. The average viewership for the prime time games is 289,000 viewers, a 4% increase over last year as a whole. The tournament’s biggest audience was 639,000 viewers for Atlanta United-New York Red Bulls on July 11, which aired on Fox’s broadcast network and Univision’s cable channel TUDN.

But beyond that, things aren’t as rosy. Some of the smallest audiences have come for the 9 a.m. kickoffs, which were set up to avoid the worst of Orlando’s summer heat. The league and ESPN -- which aired all nine of those games in the tournament -- thought they would do well. So did many soccer fans who are used to waking up early to watch games from European leagues.

Tips

• Orlando City SC have achieved just 2 wins in their 13 most recent games in Major League Soccer.
• Orlando City SC have drawn 5 of their last 10 league games.
• In 9 of Orlando City SC's last 10 Major League Soccer games both teams scored.
• Scroll Down for More

• Both teams scored in all of Montreal Impact's last 10 away Major League Soccer matches.
• Over 2.5 goals have been seen in 20 of Montreal Impact's last 25 matches in Major League Soccer.

Both Teams to Score YES @ a surprisingly good price of 4/6

Over 3.5 Goals Scored @ 2/1 odds (we like the price here)

Be mindful that the later is all about pricing.  The over 2.5 is okay at 5/6 but might not be worth your time if you think this is going to be a high scoring match, especially when Both Teams to Score YES seems like a logical bet.
