CF Montreal host Columbus Crew with playoff hopes fading
Both sides are desperately chasing the final playoff places in the Eastern Conference with only nine games remaining to bridge the gap.
CF Montreal enter this fixture 15th in the table, sitting 11 points and six places off the playoff spots. Momentum is low following a run of four defeats in five league games, including a 1-0 loss to Colorado Rapids last time out. However, confidence has been bolstered by booking a place in the Canadian Championship final during the week with a victory over Vancouver Whitecaps.
Columbus Crew are 13th, nine points and four places away from the final playoff position. While they suffered a late 1-0 defeat to New York Red Bulls in their last league outing, they arrive with the boost of reaching the US Open Cup final after defeating Orlando City 2-1 on Wednesday. Their league form remains a concern, with four losses in their last five matches.
