Major League Soccer returns with a fresh set of fixtures as CF Montreal host FC Cincinnati on Wednesday. Pat Noonan’s visitors are winless in four visits to the Saputo Stadium since May 2021.
Montreal turned in an impressive performance last time out in a 3-1 victory over Houston Dynamo at the Shell Energy Stadium. Before that, Marco Donadel’s side were on a six-game winless run across competitions, losing four, including a shock 1-0 loss to Forge in the fCanadian Championship quarter-final first leg on May 21.
Donadel will hope the win over Houston serves as a springboard for a fine run of results, as they find themselves rock-bottom in the Eastern Conference with 11 points from 18 matches.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati returned to winning ways last time out with a 1-0 victory over New England Revolution at the Gillette Stadium. Noonan’s men were winless in four outings, losing twice, conceding 10 times and scoring seven.
Cincinnati have 33 points from 18 MLS matches and are second in the Eastern Conference, four points off first-placed Philadelphia Union.
