Montreal Impact and Toronto FC face off in Major League Soccer action this weekend. Toronto travel to Stade Saputo with second place in the Eastern Conference in their hands, a solitary point behind leaders Columbus Crew after seven games. Montreal Impact, who are coached by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, are five points behind Toronto in fourth place. Henry is tasked with improving upon their ninth-placed finish in 2019. Toronto, who last won the conference in 2017, are the only unbeaten team left in the east. They come into this game on the back of two successive victories over the Vancouver Whitecaps. Vancouver being the whipping team of ambitious Canadian sides, they were also Montreal's last opponents, losing 2-0 to Henry's players. 

This fixture has offered up plenty in the form of thrills over the years, the most recent meeting ending 4-3 to Toronto in Montreal. Toronto will be the favourites to get victory here, having won four of their last five matches against Montreal. Players like Pablo Piatti and Alejandro Pozuelo will create opportunities for the visitors, and young forward Ayo Akinola will be fancied to finish. Toronto tend to produce games with lots of goals when they're away from home with their last six games on the road featuring at least three goals. In Toronto's last seven away matches, both teams have scored. The last two meetings between Montreal and Toronto have also featured both teams scoring, a feat we expect to occur again. Back at least three goals to be scored.
