Montreal has improved after losing their opening three games to take seven points from their last three.

Each of those were on the road, so any improvement back on home soil is a worry for their visitors.

Vancouver Whitecaps are second-bottom of the Western Conference and have lost all three of their away games this season.

Atlanta has taken seven points from their opening three home games in the MLS this season.

They have won three and drawn one of their last four meetings with Cincinnati, all of which were in the last two years.

Cincinnati was beaten 4-3 at home to Montreal last weekend and has lost four from six.

Austin’s second season in the MLS has got off to a great start, winning three and drawing two of their opening six games.

Josh Wolff’s team are fourth in the Western Conference, two points behind leaders LAFC.

DC United have lost three straight matches, including back-to-back home games.

Philadelphia Union are top of the Eastern Conference, having won five and drawn one of their first six matches.

The Union have won each of their last five, keeping four clean sheets in a row.

Toronto hasn’t kept a clean sheet in their six matches so far, while they lost 4-1 at home to New York Red Bulls last month.

Seattle Sounders have hit form after a poor start to the season, taking seven points from their last three matches.

The Sounders won their first game on the round last week, beating Minnesota 2-1, and can claim another win back at home.

Miami is bottom of the Eastern Conference and has lost four of their opening six matches.
