TFC, CF Montreal Face Off Knowing Both Could Be Eliminated From Playoff Contention

On Saturday in Toronto, Toronto FC will host CF Montreal, with both teams fighting to avoid being eliminated from MLS playoff contention.
Both teams are struggling this season due to poor starts and transitional phases, with Toronto 2-11-7 and Montreal 3-12-7 against Eastern Conference opponents.
Montreal recently acquired midfielder Matty Longstaff from Toronto in a trade, with both teams having made several roster changes amid injury issues.
Montreal defender Dante Sealy acknowledged the previous heavy defeat to Toronto, while Toronto coach Robin Fraser observed that both teams are beginning to improve their performances in comparable ways.
A Montreal loss or draw combined with a Red Bulls win will eliminate Montreal, while a Montreal win with Red Bulls also winning would end Toronto's playoff hopes, leaving both Canadian rivals facing possible postseason exclusion.
