MONTREAL - The Montreal Impact face a tough task this weekend as they try and turn their season around.
Marc-Edouard
Vlasic Canada Jersey . Bottom-of-the-table Montreal (1-4-6) welcomes Major
League Soccers hottest team, the streaking New England Revolution, to Saputo
Stadium on Saturday, and the encounter comes at a bad time for the Impact. Catch
all the action on TSN2 and TSN 690 starting at 7pm et/4pm pt. Montreals
season-long woes are seemingly without remedy. The team is racking up the
league-lows: they have seven points from 11 games, own a minus-13 goal
differential, and have scored just four times on home soil. The Revolution
(7-2-3), meanwhile, are riding a five-game win streak, their longest since 2005.
A victory against the Impact would tie the club record for most consecutive
wins. Sitting pretty atop the Eastern Conference standings, the Revs are four
points clear of second-place Sporting KC with a game in hand. The team is also
unbeaten in its last seven games, outscoring its opponents 16-5 over that
stretch. New England scored five goals in two of its last three contests. But
the red-hot Revs arent getting complacent. Midfielder Chris Tierney knows the
Impacts unfavourable position at the bottom of the standings could make them
more dangerous. "Montreal, theyre a good team. Its the same team that put
together a really solid run last year," he told the teams website from
Foxborough, Mass., on Thursday. "Theyve got plenty of dangerous players and were
going to have to go to their place, which is a tough place to play." Tierney is
one of eight Revolution players to have scored during the clubs five-game
winning stretch. He scored his first goal of the season in New Englands 5-3 road
romp over Philadelphia on May 17. "Were not expecting to go there and win 5-0,"
he said of Saturdays matchup. "Its going to be a tough game for us and were
going to have to have our best stuff to come out with a result." And some of New
Englands best stuff during the streak is coming courtesy of two young forwards.
Diego Fagundez, 19, and rookie Patrick Mullins, 22, have combined for eight
goals and three assists in the last five games. In contrast, the entire Impact
squad have only scored nine times during the season. "Mullins and I are working
very well with each other," Uruguayan-born Fagundez told the teams website last
weekend. "We are moving off the ball well and are making good runs. As long as
we keep playing like this, more goals will come." In New Englands last contest,
Fagundez scored the winner in the 77th minute of a 2-1 home victory over D.C.
United. Mullins netted the opening goal and became only the second rookie in MLS
history to score in four consecutive games. "(Mullins) has a great awareness of
where he needs to be, where the ball is," Revolution coach Jay Heaps told
reporters after that game. "You have to have a knack for it. Hes done it his
whole life and hes just now finding hes good enough to do it at this level." The
rookie will look to take advantage of a Montreal back-line that concedes a
league-worst two goals per game, and that gave up four on the road to the
Colorado Rapids in their last MLS outing. The defensive four might get a boost
from Matteo Ferraris return from injury. Ferrari injured his calf in a pre-game
warmup last month, and hasnt played since Apr. 26. His return is still
questionable for Saturday. Montreal will also be looking to build on a solid
mid-week performance on the road versus Toronto FC in the Amway Canadian
Championship final. Justin Mapp scored a beautiful left-footed strike from just
outside the 18-yard box in the 73rd minute to give the Impact a 1-1 draw and a
much-need away goal. "Thats the kind of thing that can change the season really
quickly," said defender Heath Pearce from Montreal on Tuesday, before the cup
tie. "It can bring a whole other dynamic to whats been a difficult season so
far. Weve been facing adversity the whole season, from the start." The return
leg of the Canadian Championship goes June 4 at Saputo Stadium, where the Impact
will look to defend their Voyageurs Cup, and claim the title for the third time.
Aggregate score will determine who will represent Canada in the next CONCACAF
Champions League. Notes: Striker Jack McInerney has scored four times against
New England in nine career appearances, including three game winners in 2012 and
2013. … New England has never lost at Saputo Stadium (2-0). … The Revs are
unbeaten when scoring first (6-0) and when leading at halftime (3-0). …
Montreals recent acquisition Issey Nakajima-Farran will likely make his Saputo
Stadium debut versus the Revs. … The Impact and Revolution will face off twice
more this season.
