One of the most active teams in the league off the field are still struggling on the field, as Toronto remained the only winless road team in the Eastern Conference this year, losing to the Fire on Wednesday. The Reds continue to inch their way closer to history, though not the kind you want to be associated with, as they have now conceded at least once in 28 consecutive league games, the fourth-longest run ever in MLS.
There are plenty of quality individuals who will suit up for this team soon, and given their road woes and struggles scoring away from home, those newcomers could be sorely needed, as TFC are without a goal in four of their previous five away fixtures. Toronto have conceded the opening goal in three straight encounters, and they have not won a match all season when trailing at the half. Playing in Montreal has proven to be a difficult ordeal for them recently, with TFC losing two of their previous three matches at Saputo Stadium, conceding seven goals combined in both defeats.

That first place feeling in the Eastern Conference did not last long for Wilfried Nancy and his men, who have endured a pair of tough matches, being trounced 4-0 by the Los Angeles Galaxy and then squandering a one-goal lead to Sporting Kansas City, losing 2-1 last week. Defensively, Nancy was happy with how they fared at home last weekend, although he was frustrated at the same time because KC barely threatened but were gifted a pair of goals due to lapses in concentration from the home side.
While it is far from a disastrous situation in Le Belle Province, as they currently sit fourth in the Eastern Conference, this team are missing a consistent difference-maker capable of changing the complexion of a match. Djordje Mihailovic is still nursing a knee injury, and without the talented American midfielder, this team are lacking that extra quality and someone who has made a massive difference for them when fit.
Breza; Johnston, Camacho, Miller; Lappalainen, Kone, Choiniere, Torres; Miljevic, Kamara; Quioto
Even without Mihailovic, Montreal should not have any problems finding a way through a defence who have conceded the second-most goals in MLS (38) and are not as great in attacking third on the road as they are at home.
Montreal have conceded seven goals in their previous four home fixtures and will wrap up the month of July with two of their next three matches taking place at Saputo Stadium. This weekend, they will have revenge on their minds after the Reds ruined their chances of capturing consecutive Canadian Championships, beating them 4-0 in the semi-finals last month.
Toronto 2-0 CF Montreal, as predicted by us.
