2017 MLS Regular Season
BMO Field – Toronto, Ont.

WATCH: TSN1/4, TVA Sports in Canada | MLS LIVE in US
A month ago the Montreal Impact traveled west to face Toronto FC and walked away with a 5-3 win, handing their rivals their first home loss of the season. The Impact jumped out to a 5-1 lead before a Tosaint Ricketts brace made it more interesting, but that game also did not feature Jozy Altidore, Sebastian Giovinco or Victor Vazquez.
That will likely not be the case when the 401 Derby decides the season series, with Toronto looking to build momentum into the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs. Montreal were eliminated from playoff contention last Saturday and will be looking to spoil TFC's party as the Supporters' Shield will be presented to the club.
