Sounders Attack Set to Test Montreal Defense
Seattle Sounders have collected four wins in their last five matches while averaging 1.6 goals at home this season. CF Montreal sit fifteenth after three defeats in their last five games and concede 2.7 goals per away match. Montreal’s defensive unit is missing B. Ceballos, T. Gillier and B. Hidalgo, which leaves extra space for the hosts to exploit. Sounders score 2.0 goals a game overall and have kept clean sheets in eight of their twenty-nine league fixtures. In head-to-head games Montreal have allowed over 2.5 total goals in five of the last ten meetings. The visitors have failed to score in eleven league games so far. Expect Seattle to push numbers forward at Lumen Field and create repeated openings against a stretched back line.
