It didnt seem that long ago that the Montreal Impact were among the top teams in MLS and in the hunt for the Eastern Conference championship.Three losses in a four-game winless stretch, however, sunk the Impacts title hopes and has forced the club to scramble for playoff spot. Montreal will look to alter its recent fortune on Wednesday when the reeling San Jose Earthquakes pay a visit.The Impact (9-10-11, 38 points) are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with four matches remaining, just one point ahead of D.C. United and two in front of New England as the three teams battle for the conferences final two postseason spots.A win could help Montreal move closer to surpassing Philadelphia for the No. 4 seed, which comes with a first-round home playoff game.San Jose (7-9-13, 34 points) is in ninth place in the Western Conference with five matches to play.One of the keys to success for Montreal is finding a way to get striker Didier Drogba on track. The Ivory Coast national had 11 goals in 11 appearances in 2015 for the Impact but has just 10 in 21 games this season.Drogba, who signed with the Impact in the summer of 2015, had only one shot in 46 touches in Montreals 1-0 loss at the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.The second year, its always a more difficult one, Montreal coach Mauro Bielloo said.dddddddddddd Opposing defenders are getting ready to face him. At the end, hes having chances at home to score goals. Its about finding that bounce and hopefully it will turn for him.The Earthquakes are still eligible to earn a playoff berth but will have to drastically reverse a trend that has seen them win only once in the past 10 matches. San Jose has three losses and three draws since a 2-1 win at Vancouver on Aug. 12 and is just 1-3-6 since July 16.San Jose likely will be without starting forward Quincy Amarikwa, who suffered a leg injury on Saturday in the Earthquakes 2-1 loss at home to Sporting Kansas City.The midweek match is a quick turnaround for San Jose after Saturdays loss. After a cross-continent trip to Montreal, the Earthquakes fly back home to face Real Salt Lake on Oct. 1, a third match in eight days.It is a very important game, Earthquakes defender Andres Imperiale said. Montreal is a team that plays very well, especially at home, so for us it is going to be difficult. It is going to be a long flight. It is not easy when you play three games and have to fly so we have to recover, we have to be honest with ourselves and be 100 percent.
