CF Montréal is unbeaten in the last three Canadian Classiques, recording two wins and a draw against Toronto last season. Montreal has never gone more than three straight MLS matches against Toronto without a loss, with two previous three-match unbeaten runs, most recently in 2016 (incl. playoffs).
CF Montréal has lost three of its last five home matches, including a 2-1 defeat to Sporting Kansas City on Saturday. Montreal is one of two teams, along with Toronto, yet to keep a clean sheet at home this season.
Toronto FC’s 2-0 loss in Chicago on Wednesday was its 11th defeat of the season, tied for most in MLS. This is the fourth time the Reds have lost 11 times in their first 20 matches of a season, also doing so in 2021, 2018 and 2012.
Rommel Quioto, who scored Montreal’s lone goal on Saturday, has scored four times against Toronto in his MLS career. He’s found the net more often against just one opponent, the league’s other Canadian team, Vancouver (5).
Toronto FC’s 2-0 loss to the Fire marked the 28th consecutive game that it’s allowed a goal, equaling the fourth-longest regular season streak in MLS history. If the Reds concede against Montreal, they will equal the third-longest run without a shutout in league history (29 – Tampa Bay in 2000-01).
