There’s an abbreviated MLS schedule this week for the FIFA international window with two games on Wednesday and one on Saturday. Wednesday’s games — NY Red Bulls-Montreal and Vancouver-FC Dallas –could go a long way toward deciding the 2015 Supporters’ Shield winner.
MLS Schedule, Week 32:
NY Red Bulls vs. Montreal, 7:30 pm
Vancouver vs. FC Dallas, 10 pm
Saturday, October10
Colorado vs. Montreal, 9 pm
All times ET.
The RedBulls, who lead the Eastern Conference by three points over D.C. United and have two games in hand, will take the lead in the Supporters’ Shield race with a win over Montreal at Red Bull Arena.
If the Red Bulls lose to or tie Montreal, FC Dallas will take the lead in the overall standings with a win at Vancouver. If there is winner at B.C. Place, it will leapfrog the LA Galaxy intofirst place in the Western Conference.
Wednesday’s game, the first of two games in three days for the Impact, is critical for its playoff hopes. Montreal has two games in hand onseventh-place Orlando City and can’t afford to squander the chance to extend its one-point lead on OCSC.
