The league table in Major League Soccer tells a story about these teams so far, with Montreal Impact leading Portland Timbers by 10 points. Match preview to follow:

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Major League Soccer game only four days ago. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting Houston Dynamo. There's been little rest and some travel, but Portland Timbers will do their best.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Portland Timbers's home stadium. The visitors last 34 games on grass have ended in 10 wins, 7 draws and 17 losses. Portland Timbers have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Montreal Impact form and stats

Overall stats at home this season for Montreal Impact are 4-1-2 (wins-draw-losses).

Montreal Impact's last game was hosting Seattle Sounders and winning 2-1. Ahead of that match, Montreal Impact lost 0-3 at home to Orlando City.

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 seven games) they have won 4 times, drawn 0 and lost 3.

The manager R. Garde will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Atlanta United in only three days.

Montreal Impact have scored 6 goals here in 7 matches, not a lot. 7 goals have been conceded.
