More than a month after a major trade between CF Montreal and Inter Miami involving multiple players, the two teams will face each other at Saputo Stadium this Saturday. Currently, both teams are not in the MLS playoff positions.
CF Montreal lost 2-1 to the New York Red Bulls last weekend, falling behind Inter Miami in the standings due to goal difference despite them suffering a 3-1 defeat against Orlando City.

It was a wonderful run for Montreal for a few weeks, but based on recent results, Hernan Losada may need to rethink his strategy, as his team has lost back-to-back domestic fixtures after a six-match winning streak in all competitions.
That has been the rollercoaster journey for this squad in 2023, which is maybe unsurprising given their Argentine coach's penchant for verticality, but regrettably, what goes up must fall down.
On the other hand, Montreal comes into this game on a five-match winning streak at Saputo Stadium, with no goals conceded in that span, having advanced to the Canadian Championship final with a 2-0 home victory over Forge on Wednesday.
Distinguishing between Montreal and Inter Miami has proven challenging because they have each followed a similar trajectory throughout the season, and Phil Neville's team is similarly on a downward trend.
Back-to-back MLS setbacks have broken a four-game winning streak in all competitions, with this team looking flat from the start in losses to Nashville SC (2-1) and the Lions.
However, they avenged their earlier loss to Nashville by advancing to the last eight of the US Open Cup with a 2-1 triumph.
Prior to this match, Miami had lost five of their six MLS away games in 2023, failing to score in four of those defeats.
