Inter Miami CF and CF Montreal are suiting up for a thrilling face off. Let's dispense with the pleasantries and dig right in. In goal, Inter Miami CF will likely rely on Drake Callender leading the defense charge, while on the flip side, CF Montreal's backline is being held steady by the capable gloves of Jonathan Sirois.
Inter Miami CF's squadron is spearheaded by Lionel Messi, a maestro once again proving his worth with 3 goals and a stellar 7.44 rating. Backing him up is Luis Suárez - 1 goal, 3 shots on goal, enough to keep defenders up at night. Meanwhile, CF Montreal fans are pinning their hopes on George Campbell and Prince-Osei Owusu, piloting their attack with commendable pass success percentages.
A quick peek into the history books shows us these two squads have had a see-saw series of matches, with Inter Miami CF edging out CF Montreal in their most recent clash. That said, the season's numbers sketch a different story - Inter Miami CF owning a respectable 6-5-3 win-draw-loss record, while CF Montreal have been struggling with a rough 1-5-9 statistic.
Recently? Well.. CF Montreal put up a spirited fight against the Los Angeles FC, ending in a deadlock. Inter Miami CF matched that energy in their own draw against Philadelphia Union. Yes, the same Philadelphia Union against whom CF Montreal suffered a 1-2 defeat.
