Montreal Impact vs. New York City FC

New York City FC are in search of a victory against Montreal Impact at Saputo Stadium on Sunday

The New York City FC and the Montreal Impact are both  threatening to win the Eastern Conference regular season title. The combination of both of these teams are averaging over three goals per game. The Montreal Impact should be favored in this fixture because they’re at home and are near the top of the chart. The fixture between the Montreal Impact and New York City FC is scheduled to start on Sunday, July 17, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. ET, at Saputo Stadium. This matchup will be broadcast on ESPN.
The Montreal Impact have been in good form as of late and have gone five straight matches without a loss. The last time the Impact were beaten at home was back in April.  However, this year the Impact are only 4-3-1 at home. Midfielder Marco Donadel is out for now, but should be back at some point in the future from his ankle injury. Also, it is questionable if forward Didier Drogba will be back in full form from a thigh injury. There are some concerns at the back for Montreal. The goalkeeper Evan Bush hasn’t been good in the net this season. Montreal also has problems on finding center backs to help him out.
The New York City FC are in great form and has been a bib surprise this season. The City has a great 5-1-3 record on the road. Last weekend, the City did loose a match on the road to Sporting Kansas City by a score of 3-1. The City has had a lot of success this season due to a relatively healthy lineup. The City are without midfielder Connor Brandt and forward Steven Mendoza, both who have long-term injury problems. Top Sports Blog doesn’t like the vulnerability which the Impact have shown. We think that City has a great chance to win this match on the road against a top contender in the East.
