Like snowbirds, the Impact head south once again to Florida, a home from home for successive Montreal squads for several pre-seasons now.
There can be no excuses around heat or humidity this weekend, in a climate they have grown accustomed to, unlike what we heard emerging from Houston last Saturday. To be fair to the Impact coaching staff and players, those excuses didn’t come from them. They tended to be mooted by others.
One player looking forward to the contest more than most is talisman, Ignacio Piatti. Of Piatti’s 64 MLS goals exactly 12.5% have come against Orlando City.
