The season is still fairly new and the Major League Soccer table has to be read with caution. So far Vancouver Whitecaps find themselves in 9th position and Montreal Impact are placed 4th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Vancouver's stadium, Rio Tinto Stadium, has a artifical turf surface. Montreal Impact have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Montreal Impact when playing on artifical turf; 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from ten matches. They have scored 15 goals in these games and conceded 19.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 4500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

The Vancouver fans got no joy from their last match, a Major League Soccer game also here at Rio Tinto Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Colorado Rapids (placed 11th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Toronto that finished 2-2.
