The Impact will be looking to get a third straight win at home as they welcome NYCFC to Stade Saputo on Saturday.
Montreal (5-3-2) are enjoying a good start to the season, having lost once in the last six games they sit third in the East with 17 points, tied with Philadelphia and D.C. United.
They come into the game after winning 3-0 in New England and most recently a 1-0 win over the Chicago Fire.
NYCFC (2-1-6) have won just twice in nine games this season, but are unbeaten in five games with two wins and three ties after a 1-1 stalemate with Orlando City. They sit seventh in the East with 12 points so far this season.
The Blues head north unbeaten in all four trips to Montreal. The sides last met in NYC when they tied 0-0 last season.
There have been four ties in the 10 meetings between the teams.
