Welcome to your playoff match thread for a Sunday night match-up between seventh-seeded Orlando City and Eastern Conference runner-up CF Montreal at Stade Saputo (8 p.m., ESPN, ESPN Deportes). This is the first time the teams have met in the postseason and will be the third meeting of the year after they split the regular-season series.
Here’s what you need to know ahead of the match.
History
The Lions are 7-8-3 against Montreal in the all-time league series and 8-8-3 in all competitions since the club joined MLS. Orlando holds a 4-4-1 road record against Montreal, but one of those “road” wins came during the pandemic while the Canadian side was hosting games at Red Bull Arena in New Jersey.
