The MLS returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as CF Montreal lock horns with a struggling Seattle Sounders side in an important clash at the Lumen Field on Saturday.
Seattle Sounders vs CF Montreal Preview
CF Montreal are currently in 10th place in the MLS Western Conference standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The away side slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of DC United last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Seattle Sounders, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table and have been in poor form so far. The Sounders suffered a 1-0 defeat against Los Angeles Galaxy in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
