CF Montreal host Atlanta United at Stade Saputo on Wednesday, October 14 (7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT).
CF Montreal go into this one with Prince Osei Owusu again the focal point up top, the striker’s 15 goals this season dwarfing anything else in the squad, while Wikelman Carmona and Matthew Longstaff look set to continue supplying the final third, each having created 26 chances apiece. Atlanta United will lean on Aleksey Miranchuk and Miguel Almirón in the attacking midfield positions, the pair responsible for 46 and 48 chances created respectively, with Tomás Jacob also a threat from set pieces after the defender’s 3 goals this season.
Both sides arrive out of sorts, Atlanta United beaten 3-1 at home by FC Cincinnati last time out and CF Montreal well beaten 2-1 away at Toronto FC on October 10, and neither has found a settled rhythm in recent weeks. With both defences loose — CF Montreal’s -21 goal difference the division’s worst, Atlanta’s not much better at -15 — this has the makings of a scrappy, low-scoring night where a moment from Owusu could be enough to separate the sides.
