In the case of the Red Bulls squad, these Jersey Boys will be one tough client to beat and for their Boss Jesse Marsch, putting his squad on a war mode and looking forward to deliver the first knock with a win as a visitor.

With both squads very levelled with their weapons not so secretive, as the Red Bulls with the league utmost striker in Bradley Wright Philips already putting the Montreal defensive backfield and its man in the posts Evan Bush in a state of siege.
