Montreal (Eastern League 10th place / Draw-Draw-Loss-Win-Loss)
Overall, they tend to be strong at home. Especially at home, they often play very aggressively, as the coach prefers an offensive strategy. They try to maintain many sequences and show precise play. However, Montreal does not respond very cleanly to pressure applied in this situation. Overall, even at home, the game tends to be chaotic.
- Absentees: Toye (FW / B grade)
Vancouver (8th in the Western League / Win-Loss-Loss-Win-Win)
Vancouver's firepower is in excellent condition. In the last game, Gauld recorded 3 assists, showing his excellent form. Gauld enters between the opposing center-back and full-back, demonstrating his ability to initiate plays. White's finishing ability is also good, with 4 goals in 2 games. However, Vancouver also tends to compromise on defense to strengthen their attack. They have not had a clean sheet in the last 12 games.
