CF Montreal welcome Nashville SC to Saputo Stadium on Saturday looking to salvage pride from a dismal campaign that sees them rooted to the bottom of the Eastern Conference with just six wins from 32 matches.
The visitors arrive in vastly different form, sitting fourth in the East and boasting a dominant 3-0 victory over Montreal earlier this season that extended Nashville's best-ever start to an MLS campaign.
With Montreal's leaky defence conceding 1.5 goals per game at home and Nashville's Sam Surridge firing on 22 goals this season, this clash between basement dwellers and playoff contenders promises goals despite the gulf in class.

CF Montreal vs. Nashville SC preview
Montreal enters this clash sitting dead last in the Eastern Conference with just 27 points from 32 matches, a stark contrast to Nashville's playoff-chasing fourth place position with 53 points.
The gulf in class became painfully obvious when these sides met in March, with Nashville cruising to a 3-0 victory that marked their third straight clean sheet and extended their best-ever five-game start.
Prince Owusu has been Montreal's lone bright spot this season, leading the club with 13 MLS goals, but his individual brilliance hasn't been enough to mask serious defensive frailties that have seen them concede multiple goals regularly.
Nashville arrives with Sam Surridge firing on all cylinders after netting 22 goals this campaign, while playmaker Hany Mukhtar continues to pull the strings in midfield with his 50 career regular-season assists.
Montreal's recent form tells a troubling story - they've managed just one win in their last six outings and have been particularly vulnerable at home, where they've struggled to convert decent attacking play into results.
With Nashville showing strong away form and Montreal's defense continuing to leak goals, the visitors will fancy their chances of securing another comprehensive victory at Saputo Stadium.
