Montreal returns focus to MLS ahead of opening-day rematch with Miami
MONTREAL — With a spot in the Canadian Championship final booked, CF Montreal will now turn its attention back to Major League Soccer and an opening-day rematch of when it hosts Inter Miami on Saturday.
Montreal and Miami have had similar roller-coaster seasons leading to identical records of 5-8-0.
After an excellent start to the campaign, Miami has struggled to find its footing and has had difficulty stringing together wins. A new-look attack filled with talent was brought in after the retirement of star striker Gonzalo Higuain, but the players haven’t clicked on a consistent basis.
“They have a lot of individual quality and two of the best attackers in the league in (Leonardo) Campana and Josef Martinez,” said Montreal head coach Hernan Losada. “Both teams need points to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot, so I expect you’ll see a pretty open game.”
