Tonight, May 21, 2016, the Impact of Montreal will be visiting an Orlando City SC at the Camping World Stadium in the United States.
Even if the French Canadian team is no longer leading in their respective conference, they will need to take advantage of the recent difficult patch that their American opponent is living through.
The Lions cannot go into this match with serenity this afternoon, especially so since their recent loss of 2-1 this past week against Kansas City.
Orlando City coach, Adrian Health, will try to come out on the field with an offensive attitude.
This is the 1st match facing each other for these two teams, and Mauro Biello’s club will be looking to win their 3rd consecutive match outside of Canada.
Mid-fielder Lucas Ontivero affirms they have the capacity and the team to win the match and bring back home 3 points.
IMFC will be looking closely at the New York City FC’s performance tonight against their local adversary, hoping that they will gain back their leadership in the Eastern Conference.
It is important to mention the possible absence of Didier Drogba, left with an injury in the last match against Philadelphia Union FC and the Montreal coach considers that the condition of the stadium, being synthetic field, is not a good idea for Drogba to be in the startin23g lineup.
