Seattle Sounders host CF Montreal at Lumen Field on Saturday, October 17 (10:30 PM ET \/ 9:30 PM CT \/ 7:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

No fresh absences are flagged for either side heading into this one. Seattle Sounders should still lean on Albert Rusn\u00e1k, who has created 71 chances this season, alongside Paul Rothrock and Cristian Roldan, both on 5 goals apiece. CF Montreal will again build around Prince Owusu, who has scored 15 goals in 2125 minutes, with Daniel R\u00edos offering a secondary threat through midfield.<\/p>\n

This one looks tight on paper. Seattle have strung together four consecutive wins. That run includes a 3-0 win at New England Revolution and a 2-0 home win over Real Salt Lake. CF Montreal, by contrast, have lost four of their last five. Their most recent defeat came 2-1 at Toronto FC, and a goal difference of -21 points to a defence that has been breached all season. Expect Seattle to dominate territory and chances created, with Kalani Kossa-Rienzi’s aerial threat at set pieces adding another route to goal, while Montreal look to stay compact and restrict space in behind.<\/p>\n\n\n
