NYCFC have been really uninspired so far in the season, having not won a single match after four efforts. They are coming off a huge loss against Toronto but will now return home in order to play host to Montreal on Saturday. Montreal Impact suffered a devastating loss on the road against Sporting KC last week.

NYCFC (0-1-3) are coming into this match after a really bad 0-4 loss on the road against Toronto. Their opponents were slightly better overall but scored three times in the second half for that 0-4 win. NYCFC have conceded multiple goals in three of their four matches so far and have failed to score twice. They are sitting at the 11th spot of the Eastern Conference with 3 points, just one ahead of Atlanta United. Montreal Impact (2-2-0) met a huge and quite humiliating 1-7 loss on the road against Sporting KC last week. We knew that both teams would score in that match but we didn’t expect Sporting KC to totally destroy Montreal. Impact actually scored their only goal in the end of the match, and have now scored in all their matches. But they have also conceded in all their matches. They are now sitting at the 6th spot of the Eastern Conference with 6 points and the worst defense (11 conceded).

NYCFC easily beat Montreal by 0-3 in this venue last season before a 1-1 draw in Montreal. NYCFC have dominated this match-up over the years (5-1-3) but things have not been very easy for them as hosts (2-1-2). Both teams are looking to wash off bad losses in their previous matches so I expect an open match once again.
