This game involves two sides living in the cellar of the Major League Soccer, Montreal Impact having 15th place and DC United in 13th. A nice opportunity for one of the squads to upgrade their position.

Insights:
  • Montreal Impact have the fewest scored goals (3) in Major League Soccer
  • DC United is in the worst form (0-2-4)

DC United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Montreal Impact and DC United should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Montreal Impact form and stats

Montreal Impact have played 1 Major League Soccer games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-0-0 (wins-draws-losses).

Quioto was the last player to score a league goal for Montreal Impact and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Montreal Impact haven't scored in 180 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager Losada led his Montreal to a defeat away at New England. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Saputo. As you see from the result above, Montreal Impact suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Prior to that, an away loss at Vancouver Whitecaps.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Montreal Impact have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 2 and lost 6.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Montreal, as the Championship home game vs Vaughan Azzurri is only three days away.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Montreal Impact at home in the league. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
