DC United kick-off their 2023 Leagues Cup campaign as they cross swords with CF Montreal at the Stade Saputo Stadium in Canada.
Wayne Rooney's DC United were handed a shambolic defeat in the hands of the New England Revolution and DC United would want to get back to winning ways with all three points. With two losses and a single draw since the start of July, would want to kickstart their Leagues Cup quest on the front foot.
Montreal on the other hand played Mexican outfit PUMAS Unam in their opening game and despite leading 2-0 for a large part of the game, the Canadian side bottled the lead in the last knockings of the game. They did manage to win the game 4-2 on penalties, Montreal would be looking to shy away from such slip-ups against Rooney's men.
