The Impact face Vancouver Whitecaps for the second time in three days tomorrow evening at BC Place with MLS points and a place in the Canadian Championship final at place.
Montreal must win to secure a final place against the best CanPL can provide, either Forge FC or HFX Wanderers.
The Impact has beaten the ‘Caps twice already this season, has displayed improved form lately and won’t have to face suspended danger-man Lucas Cavallini tomorrow evening, so they may need to ward off complacency to extinguish the challenge of a wounded opponent equally desperate for league points.
