Enemy Scouting Report - CF Montreal

The Houston Dynamo wrapped up a busy May showing signs of fatigue, ending the month with a 3-1 home loss to Sporting KC after playing nine matches. Now, following the international break, they return to action against a struggling CF Montreal side.
Montreal sits at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with just one win in 17 games and only a point clear of the Wooden Spoon spot. They’ve scored just 12 goals all season while conceding 32, making it a tough campaign so far. Despite this, forward Prince Owusu has been a bright spot, leading the team with four goals and two assists. Attacking midfielder Victor Loturi and veteran Samuel Piette also offer quality in the midfield, especially with key players like Joel Waterman and Nathan Saliba away on international duty for the Gold Cup. With Montréal short-handed, the Dynamo have a good opportunity to bounce back—though they’ll still need to contain Owusu’s attacking threat and manage the midfield battle against Loturi and Piette.
