The MLS returns with a fresh set of fixtures as New York City FC and CF Montreal go head-to-head at the Yankee Stadium on Wednesday.
Both sides head into the midweek clash in contrasting forms, with Hernan Losada’s men winning their last three league matches.
New York City FC were left empty handed once again as they suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Cincinnati last Saturday.
Nicholas Cushing’s side have now lost their last three matches across all competitions, including a 1-0 derby loss to New York Red Bulls in the Leagues Cup round of 32 on August 4.
With 26 points from 26 matches, the Pigeons are currently 13th in the Eastern Conference table, six points adrift of the playoffs qualification places.
Elsewhere, Montreal maintained their fine run of results last time out when they picked up a 1-0 victory over New England Revolution at the Saputo Stadium.
Losada’s side have now won all but one of their last five matches across all competitions, with a 1-0 loss to DC United in the Leagues Cup on July 27 being the exception.
CF Montreal are currently eighth in the Eastern Conference standings, having picked up 35 points from 25 matches so far.
