CF Montreal
Yankee Stadium will host Thursday’s MLS game between New York City and Montreal CF, the two teams who are eyeing a spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Blue Pigeons are six points behind the playoffs berth, meaning that the midweek clash is of big importance for them. Even though New York City are on a three-game losing run in the league, home win should be considered as they want this win more than Montreal CF. Nick Cushing has a luxury to field the best possible side against the Canadian outfit.
The Canadian outfit, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in the Major League Soccer. Montreal defeated New England Revolution thanks to George Campbell’s goal, but we are going to put our money on New York City this time out as the hosts are eager to keep their playoffs hopes alive. Rommel Quioto and Ariel Lassiter should be the only absentees in the visiting team.
