Chicago Fire hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 27 points and a 10th position in the Major League Soccer table. Visiting Montreal Impact holds 7th place with 33 pts.

Montreal Impact could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Championship game only three sleeps ago.

Montreal Impact have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Montreal Impact form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Montreal Impact so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 4-2-8 (win-draw-lose). Montreal Impact seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
