Top Major League Soccer games to watch this weekend
CF Montreal vs Inter Miami: The Herons return to action following their impressive win against New York Red Bulls last week, and this time they will make it all the way to Canada to face CF Montreal. The hosts have only won one of their last five, which needless to say could give Messi and Co. one more chance to shine. Despite their current woeful run, Montreal managed to beat Inter Miami back in March with a 3-2 score, something that could give the team in pink more reasons to try and win this clash.

Columbus Crew vs Cincinnati: The defending champions get to this game on an unbeaten run that has seen them draw their last five games. Facing them will be none other than Cincinnati, the team with the second-best record in the Eastern Conference and who will be reaching this clash on a three-game winning streak. Columbus have won two in a row against Cincinnati, including their semi-final match prior to Columbus' MLS Cup win. Will this be the time for the Orange and blue to earn some well-deserved payback?

Will this be a sign of things to come?
