STORYLINES
The Roses (7-2-3, 24 points) return home on a three-game winning run. Second in the table, they trail league-leading Ottawa Rapid FC by four points.
The match could mark Mimi Alidou's debut with the Roses. The Canadian international, eligible since July 20, returns to play in front of her home city after a decorated career in Europe and the United States.
Montreal have the best defence in the NSL, having conceded just 11 goals in 12 matches, and the league's second-best goal differential (+13).
This is the first meeting of the season between the clubs at Stade Boréale. The first two, played in Toronto, produced a 1-0 Roses win (May 10, BMO Field) and a 1-1 draw (June 13, York Lions Stadium).
AFC Toronto, fourth in the table (4-4-3, 15 points), arrive on a two-game losing run. They lean on Lauren Rowe, tied for third in the NSL scoring chart with five goals.
