NYCFC is looking to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City when they take on the Montreal Impact Sunday at 5 p.m. at Stade Saputo.
Despite the defeat, which snapped a franchise-best four-match winning streak, NYCFC (8-6-6) remains in first place ahead of the weekend’s games and still has the best away record (5-3-1) in MLS.
Winning at Stade Saputo, though, hasn’t been easy for visiting teams. The Montreal Impact is 4-1-3 at home with the lone loss coming to Toronto FC on April 23.
“For me, Montreal is one of the best teams in the league,” NYCFC coach Patrick Vieira said.
