D.C. United have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw with St. Louis CITY SC. It has been a mixed bag of results, and they will be looking to build some consistency.
CF Montréal have picked up 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in their last 5 outings. They come into this off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Chicago Fire FC. Away form has been inconsistent, and getting a result here will be a test of their character.
