Montreal Impact vs. San Jose Earthquakes- Sept. 28th 7:30- MLS Live
Montreal currently sits at 38 points, one slot ahead of D.C. United. But they’re still within striking distance for Orlando City, especially with an upcoming match at Camping World Stadium this weekend. Montreal has won just one in their last five, but San Jose will have to fight for those three points.
D.C. United vs. Columbus Crew- Sept. 28th 7:30- MLS Live
D.C. United lifted themselves to the final playoff slot this past weekend with a 4-1 victory over Orlando City. But D.C. will have to face Orlando again, amongst other conference opponents. The Columbus Crew have won three of their last five matches and have played well on the road, but D.C. United will be formidable opponents at home.
Toronto FC vs. Orlando City- Sept. 28th 7:30- FS1
Orlando City needs to get a positive result in Toronto to keep themselves in the heat of the playoff race. Toronto FC has already clinched a spot in the playoffs, but are still in the running for the #1 slot in the Eastern Conference and the Supporters’ Shield. The road game won’t be an easy win for Orlando City, but look for them to rise to the challenge.
