Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this clash with Orlando City, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Major League Soccer table.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Major League Soccer. This match was also played here. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Orlando City have had more rest.

It's quite the trip for Orlando City when visiting Montreal Impact as the cities are 2300 kilometers apart.

Montreal Impact form and stats

The story so far for Montreal Impact at their home stadium is 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

The Montreal Impact supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Real Salt Lake in Major League Soccer and win 2-1. Heartbreak before that as Montreal Impact lost 2-4 at Los Angeles FC's place.

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 five games) they have won 3 times, drawn 0 and lost 2.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Major League Soccer game versus Seattle Sounders in only four days. This game is also played here.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Montreal Impact here, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 5 games). From these home matches, Montreal Impact have conceded only 3 goals.

Orlando City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Orlando City so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose). Orlando City seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The manager J. O'Connor was unhappy after their last game, a Major League Soccer match played at their home ground. Orlando City suffered a 0-1 loss to LA Galaxy. That result followed a home victory 5-1 versus Cincinnati.

We have checked recent matches where Orlando City have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were W1-D1-L2.

The attacking power of Orlando City when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored in 6 matches. As opposed to that, Orlando City have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Orlando City - Montreal Impact 1-3. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Montreal Impact won 6 games, 1 match ended with a draw and Orlando City has 3 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 7 / 3
