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

Seattle Sounders have no fresh fitness concerns to report, and the attacking spine behind their recent form should again take the field at Lumen Field: Paul Rothrock has 5 goals and 22 chances created this season, Cristian Roldan has matched him with 5 goals from the engine room, and Albert Rusn\u00e1k remains the creative hub with 71 chances created in 2,101 minutes. CF Montreal arrive with their own focal point fit and firing \u2014 Prince Owusu<\/a> has scored 15 goals and put 33 shots on target, the division’s busiest finisher, with Daniel R\u00edos and Wikelman Carmona offering support from midfield.<\/p>\n

This one should be tight. Seattle have won 4 of their last 5 and sit seventh in the Western Conference<\/a> with 41 points and a +3 goal difference, still firmly inside the playoff picture<\/a>. CF Montreal, 15th in the East on 24 points with a -21 goal difference, have lost 4 of their last 5, including defeats at both Toronto FC and Colorado Rapids. Lumen Field is proving a tough place to visit, and against a defense that has shipped goals all season, a cagey, low-scoring night in the home side’s favor looks the most likely outcome.<\/p>\n
