Two clubs in the Eastern Conference of MLS will do battle today in a league match between the Houston Dynamo and Montreal Impact. The first-division clash scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET will be held at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston and can be live streamed here.
Montreal Impact center-back Matteo Ferrari had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via MLS's official website): "This year, it's going to be almost impossible to make the playoffs. But you still have nine, 10 games to prepare the team for the next year. I don't think you need to change all the players here. You can add some players, some quality players, and I'm sure that, next year, it will be different."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Houston's Brad Davis will be heavily relied upon if the club has hopes of returning to the postseason. The 32-year-old enters the week with seven assists and is averaging 2.9 key passes per match.
Houston Dynamo's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Hall; Ashe, Taylor, Horst, Sarkodie; Davis, Garrido, Clark, Garcia, Bruin, Barnes
Montreal Impact's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Bush; Pearce, Ferrari, Lefevre, Krol; Bernier, Martins; Romero, Piatti, Duka, Di Vaio
