CF Montréal and Atlanta United will battle it out to earn a place in the 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs Round One in a Wild Card clash on Tuesday night at Stade Saputo.
This Wild Card contest is a single-elimination game that sees the winner advance to take on new Supporters' Shield champions Inter Miami in the Round One Best of Three Series.
Montréal managed to qualify for the Wild Card match after taking care of business at home against NYCFC on Decision Day—the final day of the MLS regular season. The 2–0 win for the Canadian outfit meant that it secured the eighth place position in the Eastern Conference table in Laurent Courtois' first year in charge.
Qualifying for the Wild Card wasn't as simple for Atlanta, however. The Five Stripes needed to win on the road against rivals Orlando City while hoping that one of Montréal or D.C. United dropped points and requiring the Union to lose, too. D.C. fell at home against Charlotte and the Union couldn't get past FC Cincinnati.
Orlando's Duncan McGuire scored a late equalizer but it was chalked off after a VAR check—meaning interim head coach Rob Valentino guided Atlanta to ninth place in the standings and a Wild Card spot.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of the Wild Card match.
