On Friday, matchday three of the 2016 MLS season kicked off with Orlando City taking on New York City FC in a star-studded evening affair that ended as a 1-0 win for the Lions. And today, a whole slew of teams will be in action as the new campaign begins to take shape, with Dallas hoping to bounce back from a heavy defeat as they prepare to welcome an in-form Montreal Impact to Toyota Stadium this evening.
Dallas
Oscar Pareja's men will be coming into this game having suffered a heavy 5-0 loss to Houston Dynamo in the Texas Derby last weekend. This, to date, is the most goals allowed by Dallas in a single game since the 2008 season, the five unanswered goals scored by their opponents is the worst ever goal differential recorded by the team in their 21 year history.
Interestingly, this loss may again be the spark that Dallas need. Last term, they were thrashed 4-0 by Colorado Rapids at Toyota Stadium, but managed to recover in some style to top the Western Conference and finish second in the league. Although Montreal Impact are one of only three sides to still have a 100 per cent win record, the Canadian side have not fared well in their past trips to Dallas.
So far, they have yet to win at the Toyota Stadium in their past two trips, although that could change dramatically due to the presence of a certain African star striker within the squad.
Montreal Impact
Although Mauro Biello's side have fared quite well in the absence of former Chelesa striker Didier Drogba, the Ivorian star's return will certainly provide some much-needed experience to their attack. Due to an ongoing knee issue, Drogba has yet to make his debut, but reports indicate that he could make his long-awaited return to the fold, which will bode well for the visitors, but not so much for their hosts.
So far, it's been Ignacio Piatti who has been spearheading Impact's offense, with three goals in his first two games and the visitors, as indicated, will be coming into this game having won their opening two matches of the new season. Dating back to the conclusion of the 2015 term, Biello's troops have won five consecutive league games and will be hoping to make it a sixth - and their first ever win in Dallas - as the two sides clash later today.
Back on May 23rd, the Canadian side defeated Dallas for the first time in their past four meetings by a score-line at Stade Saputo, and they will be seeking to match this up with all three points to stay on top of the Eastern Conference.
