When you’re a borderline team, every single match and every single point counts.
It’s going to be quite the run-in for the Impact over the next six games. No authentic home games of course, but at least four of the last six are at a venue they should be feeling more familiar with in Red Bull Arena.

But will they make it?
Usually we ask that question with half a dozen play-off places up for grabs, and generally answer with an optimistic ‘definitely/maybe’.
