The Major League Soccer match between FC Dallas and CF Montreal will take place at Toyota Stadium on Sunday at 7:00 am IST.
After almost three years, CF Montreal will play against Dallas at Toyota Stadium in an MLS match on Saturday. Dallas won their first game 2-1 against the San Jose Earthquakes, and CF Montreal tied 0-0 with Orlando City in their first match of the season.
Last Saturday, Dallas had a tough start to their 2024 MLS season but turned it around with a thrilling win, scoring in the last minute. In 2023, they only won three games after conceding first, so winning the first match is a good sign. Last year, their performance varied a lot, but winning this weekend would match their longest winning streak. They haven’t lost in seven games at Toyota Stadium and usually don’t concede many goals. Their coach, Nico Estevez, focuses on pressing defensively, which has helped them concede few goals in the last two seasons. They haven’t lost to a Canadian team since June 2022.
Laurent Courtois’ tenure as CF Montreal’s manager kicked off with a strong defensive showing in Orlando last weekend. Last year, their away games lacked structure, with only two clean sheets. They face a tough schedule ahead, with five more away matches before returning home in mid-April. A win on Saturday would give them more points than their first seven games last season. CF Montreal hasn’t lost in their last four games against Western Conference teams. However, they’ve never won against Dallas at Toyota Stadium, even blowing a late lead in 2020 to end in a draw.
Dallas probable starting lineup: Paes, Ibeagha, Tafari, Junqua, Lletget, Illarramendi, Fraser, Sealy, Kamungo, Ansah, Arriola
CF Montreal probable starting lineup: Sirois, Campbell, Waterman, Corbo, Ruan, Choiniere, Wanyama, Edwards, Opoku, Yankov, Coccaro
