Another tension-filled, war of attrition can be expected at Stade Saputo on Saturday evening (5pm) with the visit of New York City FC, a team that’s never been beaten in Montreal, and indeed the last visitor to score here, through Rudy Camacho’s own goal in September.
The Pigeons sit just above the play-off line, 5 points behind the Impact with a game less played. A traditionally difficult opponent for Montreal, NYC despite being this season’s draw specialists, have garnered 7 points from their last three games, the most impressive of those being a 2-0 success in Washington.
