Impact look to close in on an MLS playoff spot with a win in D.C.
MONTREAL — For a Montreal Impact side that’s getting used to playing crucial games down the stretch, Saturday’s clash is as big as they come.
The Impact face D.C. United on the road in a match with major playoff implications as the teams head into the last month of the Major League Soccer campaign.
Montreal (12-14-4) is sixth in the Eastern Conference with 40 points. D.C. United (9-11-8) is seventh with 35 points and two games in hand. Six teams make the playoffs in each conference.
Whoever wins Saturday will have a clear advantage going into the final weeks of the season.
