And for Montreal it's worse when their past results are brought in view, as they are without a win in their last 5 games in a row. 

The importance of a good win here for both clubs can't be overemphasized, but it won't come easy.

Toronto FC are not going to take this clash likely eventhough the table shows they are miles above Montreal CF. It's a must-win game for Toronto after back-to-back defeats they suffered in their last 2 games. As a result, their last 5 games ended in 2 defeats and 3 wins. In the overall record, Toronto's record needs a lot of improvement and maybe they might be able to begin from this game.

For Montreal, any good result would be a huge lift for the team after such a lengthy period of abysmal results. Montreal have lost 3 games in a row and in their last 5 games, they managed 2 draws and then 3 defeats. 

Their last game against Columbus Crew ended in another defeat and this time the scoreline was 3-1. After conceding in the 19’ minute, they finally got thr chance to level the scoreline from the penalty spot in the 45+2’ minute, and Mathieu Choiniere converted the penalty. But in the second half, they weren't playing better and they conceded twice in the 59’ and 89’ minute to end the game in a 3-1 defeat. According to stats, CF Montreal had 44% possession, 3 shots on target and 1 corner kick.
