Head-to-Head
Atlanta United’s record of wins, losses and draws against CF Montréal is W8, L5, D2.
Atlanta United (home)
- Atlanta United will be no fun at all to face on their day and even when they are not at their best, they can cause problems for opponents with a fluid system and an ability to play at a high tempo.
- Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino’s return to the helm of his former club has not had much impact yet with Atlanta sitting 13th in the Eastern Conference with seven points from their first 10 MLS games.
- Atlanta United have lost their last two home MLS games, conceding multiple goals in both.
CF Montréal (away)
- CF Montréal have won their last two MLS matches, both at home, following three straight defeats.
- Montréal, who are one place and two points better off than Atlanta in 12th, will need to avoid any more slip-ups if they are to escape the bottom four of the Eastern Conference.
- Like their opponents, they also have an interim manager in Philippe Eullaffroy, who has steadied the ship since taking over with two wins.
Atlanta United
- Miranchuk, the attacking playmaker, is still the key to everything that Atlanta do with his creativity having produced four goals so far.
- He will have more responsibility to be their main outlet in the coming weeks with other regular forwards injured.
CF Montréal
- The Ghanaian has scored at least five times this season for the Canadian club, playing a decisive role in their recent wins, and also provides an attacking outlet from set pieces and transitions.
- Montréal prefer to build from the back, are more comfortable in possession and have a creative midfielder in Wikelman Carmona who can link up with Owusu or pick a pass to get forward.
