3 - 1 - 4 with 11-21. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Montreal Impact when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Montreal Impact play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

Montreal Impact have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's no vacation for neither Atlanta nor Montreal Impact as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
