Free CF Montréal vs. NY Red Bulls MLS Final Analysis:
So far, both the New York Red Bulls and CF Montreal are generating scoring opportunites at a below-average rate. On the season New York ranks 24th in attacking area possessions, with Montreal sitting 16th. Even though both teams are struggling to generate offensive opportunites, CF Montreal have done a good job at limiting their opponent’s chances in the attacking zone. Given that they have given up the 7th fewest attacking possessions, they have the advantage over New York which ranks 15th.
Even though these two squads have similar offensive production, New York should be able to take advantage of the weak goalie play from Montreal. I recommend taking the Red Bulls to pick up the win.
