MLS Preview: Atlanta United FC (3-3-2) at CF Montreal Impact (3-3-2)

Atlanta United overcame a two-goal deficit to draw Montreal, 3-3, in Atlanta on March 19. Montreal has won only two of the 10 all-time meetings between the sides (D3 L5), though both of those wins came at home, including a 2-1 win in the last meeting in Montreal, in October 2021.

CF Montréal is unbeaten in five straight matches following a draw in Philadelphia on Saturday, collecting 11 points in those games (W3 D2). Montreal had earned just nine points in its previous 12 league games dating back to the end of last season (W2 D3 L7).

Including last season’s playoff defeat at New York City, Atlanta has lost four of its last five away matches (W1). Going back to mid-October 2020, the Five Stripes have won just five of their last 26 road MLS games (D8 L13).

Kei Kamara scored the equalizing goal for Montreal against the Union on Saturday, his 132nd regular season goal in MLS. Kamara has failed to score against only two of the 26 teams he’s faced in his MLS career: Atlanta United (180 minutes) and Nashville SC (19 minutes).

Dom Dwyer has scored 10 goals in 13 career regular season games against CF Montréal, three more than he’s scored against any other MLS opponent. Only current Montreal player Kei Kamara has scored more times against the club in MLS history (11).
