Desperate Impact look to stop Red Bulls’ three-game winning streak
MONTREAL — Still hurting from loss at home last week, the Montreal Impact now face one of Major League Soccer’s hottest teams in a stadium where they have never won in the regular season.
The fifth-place New York Red Bulls (10-8-2) will be a challenge for ninth-place Montreal (6-7-6) when they meet Saturday night at Red Bull Arena.
The Red Bulls have won their last three league games, two of them on the road, by a combined 11-3. They also won a U.S. Open Cup match over New England on July 13 to make it four straight wins overall.
And while the Impact won there in the Eastern Conference semifinal last fall, the Red Bulls are 7-0-0 in the regular season at home against them since Montreal joined MLS in 2012.
