Montreal host Philadelphia Union at the Saputo Stadium in MLS on Saturday, looking for their first win of the 2025 league season. In 10 games so far, the Canadian outfit have drawn thrice and lost seven times to accumulate just three points from their campaign so far.
As a result, they are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings right now and the only team in the group yet to register a league victory.
Having finished in eighth position last season, it's been a precipitous fall from grace for Montreal, with head coach Laurent Courtois also getting the sack last month.
The 3-0 loss to Nashville on matchday five proved to be the last straw for him but things have hardly improved under interim manager Marco Donadel.
Trending
On the other hand, Philadelphia Union are up in third place following a blazing start. Their last two games were a pair of 3-0 thrashings of Atlanta United and DC United.
Having won six times from 10 games and collected 19 points, the Union have emerged as a strong contender for the title this season and enter Saturday's fixture as favorites.
