It’s not quite Paris, London, New York, but after San Jose, Houston and Orlando, the Montreal Impact entourage winds up this Saturday in Kansas City, the fourth instalment of an initial six-leg road-trip intro to the new season.
And they won’t be splashing into the City of Fountains without a fair level of optimism.
Children’s Mercy Park, a traditionally difficult place to get points at, holds happy memories from earlier Impact visits. Two of their first three MLS encounters in Missouri ended in victory. But balanced against that, Montreal has not won on their last three trips there.
