Seattle Sounders FC (0-2-3) vs. CF Montréal (2-1-2)
Seattle Sounders FC vs. CF Montréal 4/6/24 – This Saturday night, Seattle Sounders FC will host CF Montréal at Lumen Field in a matchup that’s drawing significant attention from fans and bettors alike. The Sounders, still seeking their first win of the season with a record of 0-2-3, face a CF Montréal team that has had a moderately better start at 2-1-2. This encounter promises to be a pivotal moment for both teams as they strive to improve their standings in the MLS, offering a rich ground for MLS free odds analysis.
Sounders have a tough task: re-establish a well-defined offensive call. However, Ruidíaz’s 2 goals shortage from 20 shots on target have been ineffective to provide the team with regular openings against defensive clogging. Daniel Musovski and Pedro de la Vega have proved to be the bright spots of what has been a frustrating attack for the team, but against a Montréal defense that has conceded 8 goals in 5 games, these players along with the rest of the team need to pull their acts together and improve their execution in front of the opponent’s net if they want the three points. Montréal is probably going to be tested a lot especially by the defensive resilience led by Jonathan Sirois with 22 saves and a clean sheet against Seanlaul’s multiple attacks.
On the other hand, CF Montréal has revealed rather an aggressive attack, and Matías Cóccaro as the top scorer three times assisting to another. Apart from Martínez and Ibrahim, who have both played outstanding roles, there is a general thought that Montréal could be the exploiters of Seattle’s defense weaknesses, as they have conceded quite a number of goals in critical moments of the campaign. The team’s ability to make maximum use of the chances they get will be of crucial importance, particularly against a Seattle side that is truly well-anchored by their goalkeeper Andy Thomas born with a genuine potential to keep clean sheets and save the balls successfully.

Andy Thomas GK vs. Jonathan Sirois GK
Andy Thomas managed 2 clean sheets and 11 saves, which is a demonstration of a well-proven undebatable ability to guard the goal-post under the pressure at the beginning of the season. It is Montréal’s attackers whom he must make an effort to stop and especially those at the top of the team. Tom’s calmness and unity of thoughts will have to be of highest magnitude in order to prevent the Seattle team being beaten.
Jonathan Sirois, who has CF Montréal record of 22 saves with a slightly bit higher goals warding ratio against them. His space cleverness and ability will face off against the Seattle squad’s forwards, who despite the lack of a quality performance still have the potential to score a goal or two. Sirois’s performance could be really a game changer, which gives the opportunity of winning to her team.
