CF Montréal and Atlanta United meet often enough to count as a pair that knows each other well. They have traded wins and traded points all along. This time both come in with points very close together: Montréal have 24 points from 28 matches, Atlanta have 27 points from 28 matches, just three points apart in a table where both sit in the lower half. This meeting is therefore a game where the points matter just about equally to both sides. Montréal just lost 1-2 in the league in their latest match, and the overall picture of the team is a defence that concedes more goals than it scores, even though it creates no small number of chances. Atlanta United also just lost 1-3 in their latest match, but before that they picked up draws and wins in turn. Atlanta's defence looks a little steadier in terms of goals conceded. This game should open up into an exchange in midfield. Neither team is in a form where they sit deep and wait to counter. Montréal need to push for the win at home, while Atlanta are comfortable defending and breaking quickly. If Montréal take the lead first, the game will open up even more, but if Atlanta can break the rhythm and score first, the game immediately becomes hard work for the hosts.
