Montreal has struggled this season, sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with zero wins in eight matches.

The Impact will be desperate to turn their season around and secure their first victory.

Orlando City has had a mixed start to the season, currently sitting mid-table in the Eastern Conference. They are coming off a 2-2 draw against CF Montreal in their last meeting, showing their ability to compete against struggling teams. Orlando has been solid defensively but will need to improve their attacking efficiency to secure a win on the road.
