The Montreal Impact head to Cincinnati for the first time to meet the expansion side for the first time after coming from behind to win on Wednesday.
Remi Garde’s side scored two late goals to win on the road against New York Red Bulls to pick up a 2-1 win at Red Bull Arena.
Montreal (6-4-2) remain third in the East with 20 points, tied with D.C. United and Philadelphia Union having played an extra game.
Cincinnati (2-7-2) are 11th in the East with eight points and are winless in seven, having lost their last five with not a goal to show for.
Their last outing ended in a 1-0 loss away to the San Jose Earthquakes.
This is the first ever meeting between the sides and the first of two this season.
