There has always been a story when these two teams meet, because New York City lost to CF Montréal several times in a row before bouncing back with a 2-0 win in the last two meetings at their own ground. This time the form book points in opposite directions, because the visitors are sinking deeper and deeper into a poor run. New York City have just won 2-1 in their latest match and are unbeaten in 3 straight, but what still nags is that they cannot win by 2 goals or more at all in their last 5, even though they have scored 47 goals across the season, averaging almost one and a half per game. CF Montréal, meanwhile, have lost 2 in a row and are without a win in 5 straight. Defence is the big problem, because they have already conceded 66 goals from 32 matches, averaging over two per game, and in their last 5 they have lost by 2 goals or more in 3 of them. This game should see New York City dominate possession and push forward, because CF Montréal play away by sitting deep and waiting to counter. But if the hosts can raise the tempo quickly and grab the first goal, this match has a chance to finish with a clear margin, because the visitors' defence crumbles easily when they are forced to open up and chase the game.
