Hot off the press. We've got ourselves a scorcher here in the Major League Soccer with a matchup between New York Red Bulls and CF Montreal. So put down your hot dogs, folks, it's game time.
For CF Montreal, goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois has been a human wall with a 6.88 rating and 9 saves. That's more than we can say for the other team's goalkeepers, right? Going towards their offensive side, Dante Sealy has been a stick of dynamite, achieving 7.40 rating alongside a solid goal and some good shot accuracy. Luca Petrasso and Hennadiy Synchuk are the next two on the roster, whose season ratings are in the green zone too.
Now let's put on our Red Bulls jersey. They have Carlos Coronel for goalie, with a 7.20 rating and 16 saves. The guy's got some serious reflexes there. Nonetheless, Dylan Nealis and Felipe Carballo have been stealing the limelight, both with impressive season ratings.
In the history book of past matchups, it's always been a tug of war with these two teams. You don't need to be a fortune teller to guess that we can expect an evenly fought match.
When we peek into this season's records, the Red Bulls seem to have a slight upper hand with 3 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses compared to CF Montreal's winless streak.
CF Montreal's recent results haven't been too cheering, though, with a lot of heartbreaks than celebrations. The New York Red Bulls, however, have a bit of a mixed bag of results but seem to have the edge over Montreal.
All things considered, although this match sounds like a broken record playing the 'Rocky' theme, my money would be on the team with the raging animal as a mascot.
