Red-hot Piatti, surging Impact look to hold off rebounding Fire team in key Eastern Conference tilt

​An Eastern Conference clash between the Montreal Impact and Chicago Fire features two sides in completely opposite trajectories. The pivotal three points will be up for grabs at Stade Saputo on Saturday (7 p.m. ET, TVAS).
 
Montreal has won four out of its past five, with its only loss coming against league-leaders Toronto FC. Ignacio Piatti has scored in each game during the five-game stretch with seven goals and an assist. The Argentine is tied for fourth in the Golden Boot race with 15 goals this season.

Chicago, on the other hand, has lost four straight games and six of its past seven. David Accam has brought some light to the team by scoring in the past two matches for his 13th and 14th goals of the season. The Fire’s potential turnaround could lie on the club’s goal-scoring leader Nemanja Nikolic. Nikolic is still tied for second in the Golden Boot race with 16 goals, but Fire fans have been eagerly awaiting the Hungarian National Team player to break out of a slump of eight straight games without a goal. 
 
The Impact took a 3-0 victory at Stade Saputo when the teams met just two weeks ago, and three points will be essential for either Montreal to advance above the playoff line or for Chicago to return to form in the top of the Eastern Conference standings.
