Montreal Impact host FC Cincinnati in only their third 'home' game of the season. They are fifth in the MLS Eastern Conference with their visitors bottom of the table. Montreal aren't playing their home games in Canada, instead they are taking place in Florida. Despite that, they have won one and drawn one at 'home' this season. A 4-2 win was earned against FC Toronto and that was followed by a creditable goalless draw with MLS Cup holders Columbus Crew. Away results haven't gone so well with two losses but two Bjorn Johnson goals earned them a 2-0 win at Inter Miami. They are in the play-off positions at present and only three points behind leaders New England Revolution. 

FC Cincinnati have made a disastrous start to the new season. After four games, they are bottom of the Eastern Conference with just one point. That was achieved at Nashville in their first match of the season. They should have won that though after going 2-0 up in 12 minutes. They have lost the three games that have followed with 11 goals conceded. Their most recent match was a 3-2 home loss to Inter Miami. They went 2-0 down, pulled it back to 2-2 and then conceded an 85th minute goal. Their last two away games have seen them concede eight goals without any of their own. They have lost seven of their last eight MLS away matches. Go for a home win in this match.
