Atlanta United host Montreal at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday in the MLS, looking to continue their winning run on home soil.
The Five Stripes have won both their home matches of the new season so far. They beat Sporting Kansas 3-1 on the opening weekend before beating debutants Charlotte 2-1. However, between these wins, they were vanquished 3-0 at Colorado Rapids, with Miles Robinson seeing a red for the visitors.
With six points in the bag, Gonzalo Pineda's side are fifth in the Eastern Conference standings in the MLS, but Montreal are faring much worse. The Canadian side have lost all three games so far, with only Charlotte doing likewise.
After slender 2-0 and 2-1 defeats to Orlando City and Philadelphia, respectively, Wilfried Nancy's side were thrashed 4-1 by New York City last weekend. Montreal also failed to win either of their CONCACAF Champions League clashes with Cruz Azul, losing 2-1 on aggregate to bow out in the quarter-finals.
Montreal will be eager to pick up their first win of the league season, having lost five times across competitions.
