My Prediction
Columbus Crew by 3Oh boy, prepare yourselves because we're staring straight into the face of another riveting Major League Soccer showdown between Columbus Crew and CF Montreal. Let's kick things off with a display of skilled men guarding the posts, shall we?
For CF Montreal, the one and only Jonathan Sirois has been like a brick wall in the goal with a hunky 7.08 rating and 16 saves, while Columbus in return has Patrick Schulte boasting a slightly better 7.33 rating with 9 saves. Plus there's an Evan Bush, folks, who while not having made any saves yet, seems to have successfully hypnotized the rating raters with a neat 7.00.
Field generalship is not to be discounted, with the Crew's Diego Rossi and Yevhen Cheberko leading the charge, and Rossi already having found the back of the net twice this season. Meanwhile, the best Montreal can muster up is Dante Sealy with a 7.50 rating and the prodigious Joel Waterman at 7.30.
Looking at the history of clashes between these titans of the field, the Crew appear to enjoy making daisy chains out of Montreal, having outscored them at every past meet apart from the one forgotten sting of a goalless draw.
This season hasn't been particularly forgiving to Montreal either, with them racking up a tormented string of two draws and four losses. The Crew, in stark contrast, have graced the pitch with three wins coupled with three draws.
Recently, Montreal seems like they just can't catch a break, with their last win being as mythical as my hopes of growing taller. In response, the Crew seem to have tuned their engines just right, without a loss in their last five outings.
With all this mind, do I even need to summon the powers of prediction? It's as clear as an unveiled bride at the altar. Brace yourselves folks, here it comes...
