Atlanta United Faces CF Montreal in Playoffs

CF Montreal will host Atlanta United in the Eastern Conference Wild Card game on October 23, with kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET. Montreal finished the regular season in eighth place, while Atlanta secured the ninth seed after a late surge, winning their last match against Orlando City. Former Atlanta player Josef Martinez has been pivotal for Montreal, scoring 11 goals this season, including a brace against Atlanta in October. The two teams have met twice this season, with Montreal winning both encounters by a single goal. Atlanta holds a 7-5-3 all-time record against Montreal, but faces a challenging matchup as Montreal enters on a strong run. The winner will advance to face Inter Miami CF in the next round of the playoffs.
