CF Montreal<\/a> host FC Cincinnati<\/a> at Stade Saputo on Saturday, September 26 (7:30 PM ET \/ 6:30 PM CT \/ 4:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

CF Montreal head into this one with no fresh fitness concerns reported, meaning the same faces who have carried the attacking load all season should be available at Saputo Stadium. Prince Osei Owusu leads the line off the back of 13 goals and 32 chances created, with Matthew Longstaff’s engine in midfield still ticking after 1,940 minutes on the pitch. FC Cincinnati travel with a similarly clean bill of health, built around Ahoueke Denkey<\/a>, who has scored 14 goals this season, and Evander, who has created 70 chances from midfield.<\/p>\n

This has the makings of a tight affair between two sides in very different spots in the Eastern Conference<\/a> picture. Montreal have lost 5 straight and sit on a -22 goal difference heading into kickoff. Cincinnati, meanwhile, have shown they can find the net themselves, drawing 3-3 with Charlotte and 2-2 with Houston in their most recent matches. Expect Cincinnati’s class in the final third to eventually tell, with Denkey and Evander offering the difference-makers Montreal’s leaky rearguard will struggle to contain.<\/p>\n
