STINGY D: The Sounders enter the homestretch of the regular season with the fourth-best defensive record in the league, conceding just 36 times in 29 matches.

UNDERPERFORMING: Montréal enters this weekend last in the league in Goal Difference-Expected Goal Difference at -14.54, according to American Soccer Analysis, meaning the club is underperforming on both offensively and defensively in front of net. Goalkeeper Thomas Gillier has conceded 8.01 more goals than expected, statistically the highest in MLS this season, but has been sidelined since Aug. 29 with an upper body injury.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Prince Owusu, F
Owusu has been one of the lone bright spots for Montréal this season, racking up 15 goals, tied for 10th in the league. The 29-year-old Ghana international has scored double-digit goals for the second straight season since joining from Canadian Classique rival Toronto FC ahead of the 2025 campaign.
