3 THINGS TO WATCH

• Forge feeling rested and motivated for marquee match: Whereas Forge have been dissatisfied to lose on Saturday to Vancouver FC, they weren’t significantly swayed from their perception that this week is their alternative to lastly get previous an MLS staff. They’ve received some harm points in the mean time — Terran Campbell and Jordan Hamilton each missed out to harm, forcing Bobby Smyrniotis to start out 19-year-old Amadou Koné up prime — however that is nonetheless a staff that’s largely clicking on the proper time. Forge nonetheless regarded very harmful in opposition to Vancouver, with 20 shot makes an attempt and 88 remaining third entries, however a failure of execution prevented them from scoring greater than as soon as. With David Choinière probably again within the beginning XI in Montreal they may have some extra creativity, with Forge realizing they’ve to attain to have an opportunity of advancing from this tie.

 

• Montreal needing bounce-back, can’t afford to take it simple: In Leg 1, CF Montreal’s beginning XI was closely rotated, with six gamers in that lineup who didn’t get the beginning of their derby in opposition to Toronto FC on Saturday. Nonetheless, head coach Laurent Courtois clearly noticed shortly that Forge could be a tougher problem than anticipated; they largely dominated the primary half of that recreation, prompting Courtois to make 4 substitutions at halftime. Bryce Duke, their goalscorer, was one of many subs, as Montreal received again into the sport shortly after making the modifications. This time, anticipate a a lot stronger lineup from Courtois, though it’d nonetheless not be full-strength; they’ve performed loads of intense video games lately and might need some fatigue within the squad. Montreal performed Lionel Messi and Miami the weekend after Leg 1, adopted by a midweek conflict in opposition to Concacaf Champions Cup finalists Columbus Crew, after which a derby with Toronto FC. All three can have been large video games for them, and so they have been undoubtedly pissed off to lose them.

 

• Forge search attacking execution in opposition to shaken defence: The target could be very clear for Forge, who know the one manner by way of is to attain at the very least as soon as. They’ll play fairly aggressive soccer, having seen in Leg 1 that they’re able to inflicting issues for Montreal (and that Chris Kalongo and the backline are there to assist in the event that they get caught too far ahead). It is a CF Montreal staff that has conceded 15 targets in its final 4 MLS video games — albeit in opposition to some prime opposition, however a poor file nonetheless. With the fluid play to date between Tristan Borges, Béni Badibanga and David Choinière, it is a Forge assault that feels assured. They’ve scored 12 targets in seven video games (all competitions) because the CPL season began; it’s a harmful staff that by now has an excellent thought of what it must do in opposition to Montreal.
