Montreal's CF versus Austin FC: Longstaff seeking triumph in his fresh MLS journey
CF Montreal and Austin FC Set to Clash at Saputo Stadium
After a series of exciting encounters, CF Montreal and Austin FC are set to face off once again this Saturday at Saputo Stadium. The two teams have a rich history of close matches, with Austin FC emerging victorious in their last two meetings.
Montreal has shown resilience in their recent home games, managing to pick up points in three out of their last five league matches at the Saputo Stadium. However, the team has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring one or fewer goals in seven consecutive home games.
Prince Owusu, a forward for CF Montreal, has been a shining light for the team this season, leading their slim hopes of reaching the postseason. Owusu's impressive form has been instrumental in Montreal's recent improved performances.
In contrast, Austin FC has been unbeaten for six games across all competitions, their longest unbeaten streak since a club-record seven-match run between June and July 2022. Goalkeeper Owen Wolff, who scored in their draw against FC Dallas, has been in fine form, netting in three of his last four regular-season games.
Wolff's recent scoring streak comes after a dry spell of 27 matches without a league goal, dating back to September 2024. Despite this, Wolff's contributions between the posts have been crucial in Austin FC's impressive run.
Montreal has not tasted victory against a Texas side at home since a 2-0 success over Houston Dynamo in November 2021. However, they have managed to avoid defeat in their last three matches, conceding only once in each of those games.
Based on OPTA win probability, Austin FC has a higher chance of winning the match, with a probability of 40.2%, compared to Montreal's 34.0% and a draw's probability of 25.8%.
The match promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams eager to secure a valuable three points. While the key players to watch are not explicitly listed, the talent and determination of both squads are sure to make for an exciting spectacle.
Montreal's new signing, Matty Longstaff, made his debut for the club against DC United last Saturday, adding another dimension to their attack. With both teams in form and hungry for victory, this promises to be a match not to be missed.
