The action continues in Major League Soccer as New York Red Bulls host CF Montreal at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday. Marco Donadel’s visitors are one of two sides yet to taste a league victory this season.

New York were condemned to their first home defeat of the new campaign, as they fell to a 2-1 loss to DC United on Sunday. Before that, Sandro Schwarz’s side secured three wins from their opening four games at the Red Bull Arena, scoring eight goals and conceding four.

New York have 12 points from nine matches to sit ninth in the Eastern Conference, level on points with eighth-placed Chicago Fire.

Meanwhile, Montreal failed to get their season up and running last weekend, as they were held to a goalless draw by 10-man Orlando City at the Saputo Stadium. Donadel’s men are winless in nine league games this season, losing six, a run that has left them rooted to the bottom of the Western Conference.

The slow start to the season has been owing to their lack of firepower in attack, with Montreal having the worst record in the league, netting just four goals.
