The Montreal Impact will look for consecutive wins for the first time this season when they host a Chicago Fire team that will attempt to bounce back from a midweek loss Sunday afternoon at Stade Saputo.
The Impact (4-3-2) are coming off a comprehensive 3-0 win over the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday with Anthony Jackson-Hamel scoring a brace after Shamit Shome's opening goal.
The Fire (2-3-3) saw their five-match unbeaten streak snapped with a 1-0 loss to NYCFC at Yankee Stadium in a match where head coach Veljko Paunovic was dismissed late in the second half and will serve a one-game suspension.
