Montreal Impact host Atlanta United at the Stade Saputo in Major Soccer League on Tuesday. The one-off match will decide the fate of either side in this campaign.
Montreal won their final game in the regular season to finish in eighth spot of the Eastern Conference with 43 points. That earned them a ticket to the wild-card round, and if they succeed, they will qualify for round one of the playoffs.
L'Impact finished tenth in 2023, falling short of reaching the wild-card qualification zone. They appear stronger and more competitive this term, so expect a tough clash between the two sides. Montreal prevailed over Atlanta home and away (1-0, 2-1) in the 2024 MLS regular season.

Atlanta, meanwhile, concluded their regular season with two straight victories that helped them leap over to the wild-card qualification zone. They had endured a six-game winless streak, dropping nine points.
The Five Stripes finished ninth in the Eastern Conference with 40 points. They performed better than that last season, finishing sixth and qualifying directly for the playoffs but were knocked out in round one.
Atlanta are looking to win their second MLS Cup since 2018 when they also won the MLS Eastern Conference Championship.
