The season is still fairly new and the Major League Soccer table has to be read with caution. So far Orlando City find themselves in 19th position and Montreal Impact are placed 7th.

Montreal Impact could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Major League Soccer game only four sleeps ago.

Montreal Impact have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
