For their match against Montreal, New England comes in as the expected winner. Though they’ll be playing without Luis Caicedo and Cristian Penilla who are both out on injuries, the team is still expected to beat their rival. New England has swept in the last two games, coming out with a 3-2 over Montreal in October after, another 3-1 victory back in September.
Montreal has proven to be scrappy, however, delivering a surprising 3-2 win against D.C. United earlier this month. The victory scored the team a spot in the playoffs, after they lost five of their last seven games, Action Network reports.
The face off between Nashville and Inter Miami is a bit more dramatic. According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, three Inter Miami players—including two key starters— will not be playing since they were barred from traveling as they were not medically cleared. “‘Not medically cleared’ is the language MLS clubs have used on injury reports for players who tested positive for COVID-19,” the Sun Sentinel reports.
