Montreal welcome New England Revolution to the Saputo Stadium in MLS Eastern Conference action on Saturday (August 26).
The hosts played their first match in nearly three weeks, winning 3-2 at Canadian rivals Toronto FC on Sunday. Mathieu Choiniere bagged a brace and Aime Mabika's own goal helped them eke out a narrow win. They're eighth in the Eastern Conference with 32 points.
New England, meanwhile, are second in the Eastern Conference and will play their first game in almost three weeks. They last played in the Leagues Cup earlier this month, losing 4-3 on penalties to Queretaro.

Montreal vs New England Revolution Prediction
Montreal have lacked attacking threat in recent games, and the absence of Romell Quioto - a long-term absentee - has affected them.
They have failed to score in two of their last three home games in the MLS but have scored five times in their last two league games, which they have won.
Meanwhile, New England have a lengthy injury list. Their two major attacking threats - Gustavo Bou and Bobby Wood - are on the sidelines with knocks. Carles Gil has resumed full training and should start.
As they play their first game after 19 days, they might be a bit rusty. Considering the same, a high-scoring draw could ensue.
