Montreal host Toronto at the Saputo Stadium in the MLS on Sunday, with both sides having had contrasting seasons so far.
Montreal are currently fourth in the Eastern Conference, seven points off the top of the table. Wilfried Nancy's side have been in inconsistent form of late, having only won two of their last five games. They will look to turn things around with a win against Toronto.
Toronto, on the other hand, have struggled this season and are currently 13th in the Eastern Conference, one point off bottom side DC United. Bob Bradley's side have been in poor form of late, and are winless in their last four games. They will hope to bounce back with a win against Montreal on Sunday.
Both sides will want to win the game for different reasons and that should make for an interesting matchup.
