Montreal to make an Impact against Minnesota
1798
Eastern Conference outfit, Montreal Impact, will be looking forward to returning to their Stade Saputo ground for this clash against Western Conference side, Minnesota United having lost last time out at Atlanta United.
Montreal will be looking to make the most of their return to home surroundings as they trail the Eastern Conference leaders, Philadelphia Union, by just a 5-point margin ahead this weekend’s action in the MLS.
The hosts have won 3 of their last 4 matches at the Stade Saputo which includes victories against Real Salt Lake 2-1, Seattle Sounders 2-1 and a 2-1 win over Portland Timbers, all of whom are in the Western Conference.
Another Western Conference outfit in the shape of Minnesota United will make their way over to Canada for this Saturday evening clash, and they’ll be up against a Montreal Impact side who have won 5 of their 8 home matches to date.
Montreal possess some key attacking personnel in the shape of forward Taider (7 goals, 2 assists) and Okwonkwo (4 goals) as well as creative midfielder, Urruti (5 assists).
Minnesota United sit in 4th place in the Western Conference having recently registered back-to-back wins against Cincinnati in a crushing 7-1 defeat along with a 3-1 win over San Jose Earthquakes.
However, it should be noted that both of these wins were recorded on home turf at Minnesota’s Allianz Field where they’ve posted 5 of their total of 8 wins in the MLS to date this season.
Overall form has been fairly inconsistent and this is further emphasized when looking at Minnesota’s recent results; prior to their two aforementioned wins over Cincinnati and San Jose, Minnesota had suffered a 3-match losing streak with losses incurred against Atlanta United, Philadelphia Union and Colorado Rapids.
Before those spate of defeats, Minnesota had recorded back-to-back wins (at home) over Columbus Crew and Houston Dynamo.
It’s fairly safe to say, therefore, that much of Minnesota’s success has been recorded in their own backyard, while 6 defeats from their 9 matches played away from home to date offers a different perspective on their travels.
Having lost their last 4 away matches on the trot with defeats at Toronto, Chicago Fire, Atlanta United and Colorado Rapids, this could be another tough trip for Minnesota on Saturday.
