MLS Preview: Montreal Impact (1-3-1) at New York Red Bulls (3-1-1)

The Red Bulls have won 11 of their 12 home regular season matches against CF Montréal (L1, also L1 in the playoffs). New York’s 91.7%-win rate is the best home winning percentage against a single opponent in the regular season in MLS history (min. 8 meetings).

The Red Bulls last 12 home matches have all ended either 0-0, 1-0 (for or against) or 1-1 (W4 D6 L2). Neither New York nor their opponent has scored more than once in a Red Bulls home match since a 3-2 Revolution win in July last year.

CF Montréal has conceded 14 goals through the first five matches of the 2022 season. Only two teams have allowed more goals at this stage of a season in MLS history: Minnesota United (20) in 2017 and Portland (15) in 2019.

The Red Bulls’ 1-0 win over New England on Saturday was the 18th consecutive game in which they’ve held their opponent under two goals. If they hold Montreal under two goals they will tie the longest such streak in league history, set by FC Dallas in 2010 (19 straight).

CF Montréal has scored three first-half goals in each of its last two matches, including the 4-3 win over Cincinnati on Saturday. This is the eighth time in MLS history a team has scored three times before halftime in consecutive matches, something no team has done in three games in a row.
