Cuypers Leads Golden Boot Race as Fire Visit Resurgent CF Montreal

Interim coach Philippe Eullaffroy has produced a 3-1-1 surge by switching to a 4-3-3.

Overview

  • The Belgian striker has scored in nine straight league matches and holds a one-goal edge over Lionel Messi and Petar Musa in the MLS scoring race for the Golden Boot, the league’s top scorer award.
  • Chicago ended a three-game slide with a 3-1 comeback win at D.C. United, fueled by three second-half goals.
  • A win or draw in Montreal would extend Chicago’s unbeaten run away from home to six matches in all competitions.
  • Montreal has gone 3-1-1 under interim boss Philippe Eullaffroy after a move to a 4-3-3 with less focus on keeping the ball.
  • Forward Daniel Rios has found form with goals in each of Montreal’s last two matches after his move from Vancouver.
