Let’s talk about a little good news and a little bad news for D.C. United. The good news about tonight’s opponent, the Montreal Impact, is that they’ve only managed to win three of their last fourteen games. The bad news is that the capital club needs wins, and Montreal has just one loss in their last eight games. Good news? The Impact have never come to RFK Stadium and won. Bad news? The Black-and-Red have never had to host a Montreal team featuring both Ignacio Piatti and Didier Drogba.
Mauro Biello shifted l’Impact to a 433 when he first took over last year, but has consistently deployed a 4231 this season:
Evan Bush will get the start in goal, and he’s a solid shot-stopper who shows impressive bravery despite being a bit lean for an MLS goalkeeper.
