Montreal Impact host Orlando City SC in the MLS on Sunday evening, in a clash that will be played at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey. The three Canadian franchises in the MLS have all adopted home bases in the USA thanks to COVID-19 regulations.

Thierry Henry's Montreal Impact are in horrible form, having lost four of their last five games. In their last match, a Randall Leal goal condemned Montreal Impact to a 1-0 defeat against Nashville SC.

They will take on Orlando City, who themselves are in slightly patchy form, although they have two of their last three matches. Their confidence would have received a spike though, with a good 4-1 win over Atlanta United in their last match.
