Montreal's MLS form has continued to dip post-World Cup, with just one point taken from their last two games.
It has seen them slip to 13th in the Eastern Conference table, with no wins in five matches in the MLS now (D3, L2).
Philippe Eullaffroy has been in interim charge since April, but has not been able to turn their fortunes around so far.
Wikelman Carmona, Thomas Gillier and Bode Hidalgo are all out for Montreal, which further dents their chances of getting a result.
Miami have some significant absentees of their own though, with Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul continue to rest after reaching the World Cup final with Argentina.
There are also question marks over the fitness of four other squad players, giving Guillermo Hoyos some selection headaches.
However, Miami have not missed them too much and are in great form, with their win against Chicago Fire their fifth in a row.
They are certainly favourites to continue that streak here, as they continue to push for the title.
