Montreal Impact form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Montreal Impact's two home games in the Major League Soccer so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Inter Miami CF Stadium.

No payout for Montreal Impact in their previous match, an away game at Atlanta United that ended in defeat 0-1. Attacking player Björn Johnsen bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 7.12 out of 10. Johnsen hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times. Heartbreak for Montreal Impact in their last match as Atlanta United's M. Moreno scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Inter Miami.

Cincinnati form and stats

The Major League Soccer season is young and Cincinnati, who have the most conceded goals (13) in Major League Soccer, have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. Recent form does not give Cincinnati much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Montreal Impact will be a tough nut to crack.

Home advantage was not enough for Cincinnati in their previous game, as they lost their Major League Soccer-match, hosting Inter Miami, 2-3. Midfield player Álvaro Barreal was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.83/10. Barreal scored one goal, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 21 successful passes (of 26 total).

A 0-3 defeat away at Orlando City before that.

Cincinnati are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and two defeats. From a total of three matches.

The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Cincinnati can't defend away. 10 goals have been scored by the opposition in 3 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.
