My Prediction
New England Revolution by 1I do hope you're sitting comfortably, because we have quite the MLS clash coming up between CF Montreal and New England Revolution. The goalkeepers for this matchup are ones to watch - Aljaž Ivačič for New England Revolution with a tidy 6.62 rating and 12 saves, and Jonathan Sirois for CF Montreal also boasting a 6.62 rating and with a slight edge in saves at 13.
Turning our attention to the big names on the pitch, for New England Revolution, it's Carles Gil the pass magician with 86.2% accuracy who sticks out, closely followed by Alhassan Yusuf, posting a respectable 7.42 rating and an even more respectable 89% pass accuracy. And let's not forget Luis Díaz who's shown that he can aim with a 78.1% pass accuracy.
Over on the CF Montreal team, Prince-Osei Owusu and Dante Sealy have been nothing short of a shooting gallery, firing off 7 and 5 shots on goal respectively, while Victor Loturi and Giacomo Vrioni have found the back of the net a few times this season.
While it's always entertaining to look at past matchups between these two teams, it's about as predictive as my Aunt Karen's horoscope column. But for what it's worth, their last meeting was a 2-2 tie, while the game before that was a Revolution march to victory with 5 goals to Montreal's zilch.
This season, New England Revolution's record has been decent with a 5-5-4 win-draw-loss ratio, while CF Montreal has been... less than stellar. A slow clap moment for their 1-5-10 record.
Recently though, something to note - while New England have been involved in a fair share of draws, CF Montreal decided to crank up their performance, at least relatively speaking. Despite a hefty loss to Toronto FC, they ended their last game on a high, hanging a 1-0 loss on New York City FC.
Sorting through this info salad, The scales are tilted, ever so slightly, towards the New England Revolution. Therefore, folks...
