Montreal Impact form and stats
Montreal Impact, who have the most conceded goals (23) in Major League Soccer, have collected 9 points from their Major League Soccer home games so far after 3-0-5. Montreal has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager T. Henry and the players. Game days at Red Bull Arena have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Montreal as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
In their previous game, the manager T. Henry led his Montreal to a defeat in the Major League Soccer match away at New England. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Red Bull Arena. Ahead of that match, Montreal lost 1-4 at home to Philadelphia Union.
Montreal has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
Chicago Fire form and stats
Chicago Fire, who have the fewest points (2) away in Major League Soccer, have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Major League Soccer, after 0-2-4 (6 played).
Chicago Fire won their last game, 4-0 versus Houston Dynamo played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Orlando City wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.
As you can tell from the results above, Chicago was very dominant against Houston Dynamo, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Charles Sapong, Fabian Herbers, Robert Berić and Álvaro Medrán providing the goals.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Chicago manager R. Wicky has some worries about the defense as 13 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Montreal five wins, one draw and Chicago Fire four victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
