Montreal's struggles continued with a 1-0 defeat at home against Inter Miami last weekend.
Not only have the hosts failed to win their last six league matches, but they have also drawn blanks in three consecutive outings.
Philippe Eullaffroy’s troops are 13th in the 15-team Eastern Conference, seven points behind the qualification playoff places.
The French gaffer will not be able to call upon the services of Wikelman Carmona (knee), Thomas Gillier (concussion), Josh Nteziryayo (knock), and Bode Hidalgo (muscle), as these players are ruled out with injuries.
On the other hand, New England Revolution cruised to a comfortable 4-1 victory over Atlanta United in their last outing.
The visitors have had an impressive run of results in recent months, winning eight of their last 12 league matches.
However, the Revs have been one of the league's worst travellers, with a 1-1-4 win-draw-loss record in six away games. They have been the third-best team in the Eastern Conference and sit comfortably in the automatic playoff spots.
Head coach Marko Mitrovic is not expected to make significant changes to the side that defeated Atlanta United last weekend. However, Alhassan Yusuf, who provided two assists in that game, is unavailable for selection alongside Leonardo Campana (hamstring) and Andrew Farrell (muscle), while Ilay Feingold's status is questionable due to a knock.
It is worth mentioning that Montreal suffered a 3-0 defeat in the reverse fixture almost four months ago. They have had a poor track record against their visitors, with one win in the last five H2Hs.

Whispers Predicts: Montreal 0-1 New England Revolution
At 13/10 (2.30), Montreal are considered favourites by the bookmakers ahead of this encounter.
However, the hosts have struggled to find their stride, and keeping in mind that New England won their last two trips to this stadium without conceding, we are confident that the visitors will claim all the spoils after 90 minutes.
Also, with Montreal drawing blanks in their last three fixtures, we fancy New England Revolution to win-to-nil at 5/1 (6.00).
Furthermore, a 0-1 correct score can be backed at 11/1 (12.00). Montreal lost their last two matches by the same scoreline.
