New York RB and Montreal Impact have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Major League Soccer.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams have little in common geographically as Montreal Impact have to travel 2200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
New York RB form and stats
Overall Major League Soccer stats at home this season for New York RB are 2-0-3 (wins-draw-losses). Three consecutive losses here at Red Bull Arena is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
York's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Cincinnati (placed 10th). Before that match, a win away at DC United.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier York matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, zero draws and two defeats (from four games).

Montreal Impact form and stats
2-1-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Montreal Impact in their Major League Soccer matches away.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Major League Soccer home defeat versus Philadelphia Union with 1-4 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Montreal manager T. Henry faced defeat when travelling to Vancouver Whitecaps and losing 1-3.
Montreal goalkeeper Clement Diop had a great day against Philadelphia Union, but despite making seven saves the loss could not be avoided.
