Sporting Kansas City only play Montreal in doomed seasons. The last meeting... 2019. That was actually one of SKC’s wins in the troubled 2019 season. Not just a win, but an absolute thrashing. Sporting won 7-1 at the end of March 2019, before the wheels had fully come off that season. Just five days later, they would lose 5-0 to CF Monterrey. That’s probably why Montreal but the CF in front of their name and did a rebrand (kidding, of course).
The roles are very different for this meeting. Sporting have already completed their collapse and are coming ever closer to a possible wooden spoon winning, last place finish.
