New England Revolution holds the clear edge, sitting inside the top four with 25 points from 14 games while CF Montreal languishes in mid-table with 14 points. The Revolution also won two of the last three meetings between the sides and arrive in good form against a Montreal team in mixed form.

New England Revolution’s attack, led by **D. Fagundez** and **Carles Gil**, will test a CF Montreal defense that has conceded 31 goals, the second-worst defensive record in the league. Montreal’s midfield, anchored by **F. Amaya**, must disrupt Gil’s supply lines to prevent the Revolution from converting their chances.

For CF Montreal, goalkeeper **S. Keita** faces a heavy workload against a New England side that has scored 22 goals, and midfielder **F. Amaya** must control the center of the park. For New England Revolution, playmaker **Carles Gil** and attacker **D. Fagundez** carry the primary goal threat and creative burden.

Yes. CF Montreal will be without **F. Herbers**, **B. Hidalgo**, and **S. Ibrahim**, while New England Revolution are missing **L. Campana**, **I. Feingold**, and **L. Langoni**. Both teams are depleted, but Montreal’s absences hit a thinner squad harder.
