Montreal CF host Philadelphia at the Saputo Stadium in the MLS on Sunday, with both sides not having the best start to their season.
Montreal lost their opener 2-0 against Orlando last time out. Wilfried Nancy's side finished 9th in the Eastern Conference last season and will be looking to massively improve this time around.
Philadelphia, on the other hand, started off their season with a 1-1 draw against Minnesota last time out. Jim Curtin's side finished top of the Eastern Conference last time out and will try to replicate their form this season as well.
Both sides are looking for their first win of the season and that should make for an interesting matchup.
Montreal CF vs Philadelphia Head-to-Head
Philadelphia have slightly edged the recent head-to-head record between the two sides, winning two of their last five meetings, with Montreal winning only one.
