Montreal team news and form: Lassi Lappalainen injury hits CF Montreal hard
The prolific Finnish winger is injured and will miss the game against New York City on the 20th of October. Surely, this is a big smack to the face for coach Laurent Courtois as he would’ve wanted to use Lappalainen among the starters.
Predicted lineup: Sirois (GK), Corbo, Watterman, Campbell, Marshall-Rutty, Piette, Saliba, Edwards, Clark, Duke & Martinez

New York City team news and form: Cushing unburdened by injuries
Yes, Malachi Jones is injured and will miss the game against CF Montreal, but we still believe coach Cushing has plenty of options to pick from. With Alonso Martinez scoring like there’s no tomorrow, we believe New York City stand a good shot at the title.
Predicted lineup: Freese (GK), O’Toole, Gray, Martins, Risa, Parks, Haak, Moralez, Wolf, Martinez & Rodriguez

Player to watch: Alonso Martinez
Since the start of the season, Martinez has managed to score a total of 16 goals. However, seeing as the team is already through to the next phase, maybe the manager will opt to give him a rest against Montreal. Only time will tell.

Second player to watch: Josef Martinez
Former Inter Miami star Josef Martinez will be the one on whom the fans will rely mostly against New York City. He bagged 10 goals since the start of the season and we are convinced he will try to ruin our Montreal vs New York City predictions.
