Toronto FC Can Win If…
They continue their defensive stability and find their attacking rhythm. Toronto has posted three straight draws, including a scoreless one with Atlanta last Sunday, with keeper Sean Johnson recording his seventh clean sheet of the season. However, Toronto has struggled to convert chances, with only one win in their last seven games.
“On the attacking end, we have to keep working on our timing and our execution,” said coach Robin Fraser.
If Toronto can finish the chances they create and avoid defensive mistakes, they should have enough to get past Montreal and extend their unbeaten run.
CF Montreal Can Win If…
They maintain their solid recent form and make the most of their attacking chances. Montreal has gone 2-0-2 in their last four matches and is coming off a 3-2 victory over Austin FC. The return of Spanish midfielder Ivan Jaime, who joined the team on loan from FC Porto, could provide a boost.
“We are ready and happy to welcome him,” said interim head coach Marco Donadel.
Montreal needs to build on their momentum and create goals from Hennadii Synchuk, Dante Sealy, and Prince Owusu, who have been instrumental in recent wins. If they can get another big performance from their offense and tighten up defensively, they could pull off an upset.
