Montreal Impact face final 10 games of season
with mission to improve road form
MONTREAL – It’s back to (road) basics for the Montreal Impact.
Of the 10 MLS games Montreal still have to play, six require them to pack their bags and face hostile crowds, starting this Saturday night at the Philadelphia Union (7:30 pm ET, watch on MLS Live). Mindful of the tight Eastern Conference standings which they currently top, the Impact are on a mission to repeat their early season road heroics, when they most notably beat both Seattle and Portland in Cascadia.
“The next two games won’t be easy, but we have to do more if we want to make the playoffs,” forward Marco Di Vaio said on Thursday. “We have to pick up points away like we did early this season. It’s very important: it might be the difference between fifth place leading to the wild card game and the top of the table sending us directly into the playoffs.”
