The 2024 edition of MLS returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as CF Montreal lock horns with DC United in an important encounter at the Saputo Stadium on Wednesday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will be determined to win this game.
CF Montreal are in 13th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have not been at their best this season. The hosts played out a 0-0 stalemate against Nashville SC in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
DC United, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table and have been inconsistent over the past year. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Chicago Fire last week and will aim to register a positive result this week.
