Montreal Impact form and stats
Overall Major League Soccer statistics playing at home this season for Montreal Impact are 8-4-3 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager W. Nancy led his Montreal to a defeat in the Major League Soccer match away at New York RB. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Saputo. Heartbreak for Montreal in their last match as New York RB's Fabio scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Rudy Camacho was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.62 out of 10. The defender Camacho hit one key pass and won 8 of 10 duels.
0-0 away at Forge (after extra-time, 7-8 on penalties) before that.The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Montreal matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, one draw and two defeats (from four games).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Orlando City are coming to town in four days.
A decent goal production from Montreal in their home games so far, with 27 goals from 15 league matches. 21 goals have been conceded.
Houston Dynamo form and stats
Houston Dynamo have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Major League Soccer, after 0-6-9 (15 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 16 away games in a row.
The manager T. Ramos was unhappy after their last game, a Major League Soccer match played at their home ground BBVA Compass Stadium. Houston Dynamo suffered a 0-1 loss to Colorado Rapids. Midfielder Adalberto Carrasquilla was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.65. Carrasquilla dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Prior to that match, the Houston manager T. Ramos faced defeat when travelling to Austin and losing 1-2.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Houston when being an outsider away as they are today, we find seven matches with the visitors losing seven times, drawing zero and winning zero games.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Houston as they have only managed to score 14 times from 15 away games in the league. Houston's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 28 goals from these trips.
