Will Montreal Secure a Fourth Straight Home Victory?
Montreal head into this semi in devastating form. They are undefeated in seven, picking up six wins and drawing one. Since a 1-0 home reverse to New York Red Bulls at the start of September, only Columbus Crew have stopped them from winning. Also, the loss to the Red Bulls is their only defeat in 16 (12 wins, three draws).
After ending the regular campaign with four victories on the trot, Impact made light work of Orlando City in the first round of the playoffs. To their credit, Orlando kept them at bay for over an hour, but Ismael Kone broke the deadlock in the 68th minute. Djordje Mihailovic made sure of the victory by converting a penalty in injury time.
In the regular season, Montreal picked up more away points than they did at Saputo Stadium, but Wilfried Nancy’s troops have won their last three on home turf. Can they rack up another victory this weekend?
Can New York City Stretch Winning Run to Five?
New York City have struggled for consistency at times, but Nick Cushing’s men are in good form at present. The Pigeons warmed up for the playoffs by winning their final three games of the regular season, seeing off New York Red Bulls, Orlando, and Atlanta United.
City went up against Phil Neville’s Inter Miami in the first round of the playoffs. After a goalless first period at Citi Field, the Boys in Blue sprung into life in the second half and secured a routine 3-0 win – Gabriel Pereira, Maximiliano Moralez, and Heber got the goals.
Before the recent victory at Atlanta, New York’s form away from home was pretty bad. They had sealed just one away win in seven, losing five of those. However, at the start of that woeful run, they did manage to hold Montreal to a draw in Quebec.
CF Montreal vs New York City FC Head-to-Head
New York City are unbeaten in three against Montreal. The pair drew 0-0 at Saputo Stadium when they last met. However, the reverse fixture at Yankee Stadium in March ended in a big 4-1 victory for the Cityzens, with Alexander Callens, Santiago Rodriguez, Talles Magno, and Thiago on target.
Montreal’s last victory over New York came in July 2021, as they won 2-1 in Orlando. The Pigeons have certainly had the Canada club’s number in recent years, losing just one of the previous 13 meetings.
