Montreal Impact and DC United have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Major League Soccer.

Montreal Impact have less rest than DC United in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Major League Soccer game only three days ago. This match was also played here at Stade Saputo. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, DC United have had more rest. That game was an away game at Vancouver Whitecaps, so at least Montreal Impact are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

It's quite the trip for DC United when visiting Montreal Impact as the cities are 4400 kilometers apart.
