CF Montreal will watch to collect points in the third direct match on hosting Toronto FC on Saturday afternoon.
Montreal (1-8–4, 7 digits) raised the same point in a 1–1 midweuck draw in Columbus and entertained Toronto in search of his first domestic win (0–2-2) of the season.
Defender Luka Petraso’s first career MLS Gol opened scoring for Montreal in Columbus on Wednesday. Jacon Russell-Rowway responded to the crew in the 63rd minute.
“We know this is a match we could win,” said Montreal midfielder Nathan Saliba. “We know that we should win, especially in such sports at home. I would not say that we are happy with this point, rather that we are accepting it and focusing on Saturday.”
Toronto won both meetings in Canadian rivalry last season. The hat-trick of Federico Bernardichy replaced Reds in a 5–1 domestic win. Richie Laria went on strike alone in a 1–0 win in Montreal.
Through 35 all-time meetings between Montreal and Toronto, the TFC leads the series with a record 16–14–5 records. In 14 matches in Montreal, Toronto set a record of 8–5–1, excluding his rivals from 20–15.
Toronto travels to Montreal after the loss of 1–0 midweek’s house for Cincinnati.
Toronto coach Robin Fraser said, “We probably were not as fast as we should have been, and I don’t think it is very different.” “I think if we join a little more, we create more opportunities, and therefore the message is what we need to do to prepare ourselves physically for a fight on Saturday.”
With disadvantages, Reds (2–7-4, 10 digits) has won just one on its last four matches (1-3–0) after going four directly with a point (1-0-3).
Toronto FC and CF Montreal meet again in Toronto on August 30 to complete the regular-season series.
