Columbus Crew - CF Montreal

Columbus Crew host CF Montreal at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on matchday 20 of the Major League Soccer season. The expected starting XI for Columbus Crew sees Chase Adams and Daniel Gazdag spearhead the attack, supported by midfielders Taha Habroune, Dylan Chambost, Tarun Karumanchi, and Lautaro Giaccone. The defence is expected to be marshalled by Malte Amundsen, Sean Zawadzki, Cesar Ruvalcaba, and Brooks Lennon, with Patrick Schulte in goal.

CF Montreal arrive having drawn their last two league fixtures, including a 1-1 stalemate with DC United on 15 August. Their expected lineup features forwards Noah Streit and Prince Osei Owusu, alongside Gennadiy Synchuk and Fabian Herbers in midfield. The defensive unit of Luca Petrasso, Brayan Vera, Jalen Neal, and Brayan Ceballos will aim to provide stability for goalkeeper Thomas Gillier. The visitors will be looking to improve on a recent run that has seen them win only once in their last five outings across all competitions.
