GOALS GALORE: CF Montréal have scored the most goals in the Eastern Conference (30) and third-most in MLS, but they’re also tied for fourth in goals allowed (28).
MIHAILOVIC MISSING: Montréal will likely be without midfielder Djordje Mihailovic, as he recovers from an injury that kept him out of a United States national team camp earlier this month. Mihailovic was putting in an MLS MVP-caliber season prior to his injury, with seven goals and four assists in 14 matches.
QUICK-STARTERS: CF Montréal have scored five times in the opening two minutes of a half this season, the most in MLS.
