CF Montreal Can Win If…
Montreal must take advantage of Atlanta’s road struggles. The Canadian side’s main challenge has been scoring at home, with just one match of more than one goal scored all season. Prince Owusu (11 goals) will need service in the final third to exploit Atlanta’s defense.
Interim coach Marco Donadel believes the squad has grown during the Leagues Cup, saying, “I think some players have discovered new facets to their game… we’re much more resilient to face the challenges that lie ahead.” A strong defensive structure and a fast start could be the key to breaking down the Five Stripes.
Atlanta United Can Win If…
Atlanta will need to improve their accuracy in front of goal — just 32% of their shots have been on target this season. Emmanuel Latte Lath (7 goals) and the attack will have to capitalize on Montreal’s defensive lapses at home.
Coach Ronny Deila wants his team to build on their midweek win, saying, “Hopefully we can take that confidence into the weekend… Now we have to try to repeat and keep consistent in our performances.” A quick goal could unsettle Montreal and help Atlanta earn their first road win of 2025.
The Lean
Both teams have struggled to score and win consistently, but Atlanta’s recent boost from the Leagues Cup may give them the edge. Montreal’s home form is a concern, with just one victory at Stade Saputo this season.
Projected Score: Atlanta United 2-1
Pick: Atlanta United (+155)
Over/Under Lean: Over 2.5 Goals
