Currently sitting in eighth place with 41 points, Montreal (12-16-5) can secure home field advantage in the play-in with a win against Columbus (15-9-9). Should Montreal draw or lose, it would need other results to fall favourably.
CF Montreal would need at least two of the New York Red Bulls, Chicago Fire or Charlotte SC to drop points in their final games should it fail to take care of business in Columbus.
Winning on the road been the single biggest problem area this year for CF Montreal. Despite holding one of the league’s best defensive records at home, Montreal is the second-worst road team, ahead of only last-placed Toronto FC. The club lost its last three road games by a combined score of 9-1, and this came with Montreal fighting for a playoff spot.
Columbus came out in top 4-2 the last time these teams met on Sept. 2 at Stade Saputo. The Crew brought their usual high-octane attack and exposed a lack of finishing that has cost Montreal dearly all season. “ love to keep the ball and take risks by playing out from the back. If we can find a way to press at the right time and not get caught out, that’ll give us the best chance,” said captain Samuel Piette. “We even scored that way last time we played and striking the right balance will be key.
