It might be tough going out on the road again for Montreal Impact, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-5 versus Vancouver Whitecaps. Montreal lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.
