What They're Saying
America midfielder Christian Pellerano (via Esto): "All loses hurt and we are worried, but like we have before, we will pick ourselves up. This will not be the exception. This isn't a different game. You play a final carefully. It's another tournament and we have to turn the page as soon as possible to achieve the goals we have."
Montreal Impact manager Frank Klopas (via MLS): "Regardless of the outcome of [Saturday's] game, they're going to be very motivated to play because it is a final. I don't take too much away from the game from the other night. For me, some of the things I needed to see-because I've watched a lot of their games-I saw [on Saturday]. But for sure, we have to expect a different team, a different mentality and approach on Wednesday."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With a swift counterattack being the chief tactic Klopas deploys on Wednesday, the pace and finishing ability of Dominic Oduro will be key. Unfortunately for Montreal, Oduro's scoring record is nonexistent in 2015. The 29-year-old is yet to open his account in eight appearances across all competitions, but is averaging 1.8 attempts.
Montreal Impact's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Bush; Tola, Soumare, Ciman, Cabrera; Reo-Coker, Bernier; Duka, Piatti, Oduro; McInerney
America's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Munoz; Samudio, Pimentel, Aguilar, Aguilar; Sambueza, Pellerano, Quintero, Arroyo; Peralta, Benedetto
