Montreal Impact host Houston Dynamo at the Saputo Stadium on Wednesday (October 3) in the MLS, with both sides lookingto end their winless run in the competition.
Since a run of three straight wins between July and August, Montreal have gone the next six without a victory. They lost back-to-back games to New York City and Columbus Crew, followed by two straight draws to Chicago Fire and Cincinnati. In their last two games, the Canadian side lost consecutively again, to Atlanta United and Orlando City.
With 37 points from 31 games, Montreal are ninth in the Eastern Conference. By contrast, Houston have fared better this season in the Western Conference, accruing 44 points from 31 outings.
