CF Montreal have failed to score in three league matches since the restart, while New England Revolution arrive off a 4-1 win but remain unconvincing away from home. The outlook points toward a low-scoring game.

Team news: CF Montreal were under pressure throughout their last league match against Inter Miami and managed only two shots on target, underlining their lack of cutting edge up front. Goalkeeper Sebastian Breza made just one save all game, and the team eventually conceded from a penalty late on in a narrow defeat.

New England Revolution, in their previous league outing against Atlanta United, had fewer attempts overall but were far more clinical in front of goal. Midfielder Carles Gil and forward Tomás Chancalay both scored in the first half to give them a two-goal lead at the break. After the interval, winger Peyton Miller and midfielder Brooklyn Raines also got on the scoresheet, putting the game beyond reach before Atlanta pulled one back late in a comfortable home win.

CF Montreal injuries: Botond Balogh (defender), Hennadiy Synchuk? No — unavailable from source as Bodi Hidago? and Wikelman Carmona (midfielder). Suspensions: none.

New England Revolution injuries: Leonardo Campana (forward). Suspensions: none.

Form: CF Montreal lost 1-0 to Inter Miami in their last league game, their second straight 1-0 league defeat. Since the restart, they have taken just one point from three league matches and have yet to score, with their attack still misfiring. Even back at home, they may not have the confidence to take the initiative.

New England Revolution beat Atlanta United 4-1 last time out, ending a two-match winless run in the league. However, they have won only once in six away league matches this season, and their away form is clearly below their home standard. This match looks set to be low-scoring.

Head-to-head: In the last three league meetings, New England Revolution have won two and lost one. They won the most recent meeting 3-0. There were six corners in that last encounter.
