Montreal Impact desperately need win against worst team in MLS
MONTREAL — No more excuses — that’s the mantra for the Montreal Impact going into the final four games of the MLS season.
At risk of missing the playoffs for the third consecutive year, the Impact (11-15-4) desperately need a win against the league’s worst team, FC Cincinnati (5-21-3), on Saturday at Saputo Stadium.
The eighth-place Impact (37 points) are two points behind the New England Revolution (39 points) for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Revs have a game in hand.
Montreal is coming off its two-week international break and the players are, for the most part, healthy and well rested. They have not played since a 3-0 drubbing at home to D.C. United on Aug. 31.
