Two struggling teams meet at the Saputo Stadium in the MLS on Saturday as Montreal host New York Red Bulls.
With just one win and six defeats from seven games so far, Montreal are rock bottom of the Eastern Conference standings with just three points in the bag.
The Canadian outfit's only victory of the season thus far was a 3-2 defeat of Philadelphia Union on matchday four, having started their campaign with three consecutive defeats.
It seemed like the Impact were back, but the win later turned out to be a false dawn as Hernán Losada's side went on to lose the next three.
It's worth noting that in all six defeats, Montreal failed to score a single goal.
New York Red Bulls haven't exactly covered themselves in glory either, winning just once in eight games, but they've drawn five times to sit in 12th position with eight points.
That win came on matchday four - a narrow 2-1 victory over Columbus Crew - but have gone off the boil once more, failing to win any of their next four, drawing thrice.

Montreal vs New York Red Bulls Prediction
Neither team have started their season brightly, but Montreal have been seriously bad. The Red Bulls may feel they have a chance to return to winning ways here and may be able to do just that given the lackluster defense of their hosts.
