Get to know who the Red Bulls will be playing in their upcoming matchup with The Other Side:

How They’re Doing

CF Montréal’s season has completely turned around since these two clubs last met. The 2-0 win against the Red Bulls started a winning streak that lasted five matches across all competitions.

Before that match, Montréal had lost six of their first seven MLS matches.

During that winning streak, Montréal only allowed one one goal. In the league matches before the streak began, they allowed a league-worst 17 goals.

Montréal currently sits in 12th place on 15 points, two points ahead of the Red Bulls.

Head-to-Head History

In 29 total matches across all competitions, New York and Montréal have evenly split the series at 13-13-3.

The series, however, has heavily favored the home side. The Red Bulls have only won twice on the road against Montréal, with the latest coming during the 2022 season.

Conversely, Red Bull Arena has been a fortress in this matchup with New York owning a 11-3-1 record.

Player to Watch- Goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois

It was a disastrous start to the 2023 season for the Montréal goalkeeper, but he has been a man in form over the past month.

Including a shutout against the Red Bulls, Sirois has four clean sheets in his last five MLS matches. In those performances, he has made 12 saves, including six in a 2-0 win at Sporting Kansas City.

After giving up 15 goals in the six matches prior, Sirois has turned his season around and is one of the main reasons Montréal has gotten their season back on track.
