Last Saturday's 2-0 home victory over Charlotte in the MLS marked the hosts' first victory in four games thanks to goals from Kwadwo Opoku and Chinonso Offor in the first half.
Although the visitors' Liga MX Apertura campaign has gotten off to an undefeated start, their past two league games have resulted in draws. After making their debut in the 2021 edition, they have been invited to the Leagues Cup for a second time.
They lost that edition's competition in the semifinals, and they'll want to do better this time around. Montreal and Pumas are placed in Group East 2 with DC United.
