They aren’t selling playoff tickets, yet.

But Toronto FC will begin to consider it if the Reds beat the visiting Montreal Impact on Saturday afternoon.

Like the Blue Jays, TFC, which is solidly in fourth position with games in hand, will be in excellent position to claim a post-season berth if it tacks on another three points before September.

Toronto FC targeted nine points from home dates against Orlando and Montreal coming into this month, knowing they’d almost assure themselves of a playoff berth if they put more distance between themselves and the red line in the standings.

The Reds couldn’t be in better shape with all of the elements falling in their favour.

Considering the Impact is currently in Vancouver to slog it out with the Whitecaps late Wednesday night for the Canadian Championship, Toronto FC will certainly be more rested having avoided a cross-country flight midweek.

And word arrived Wednesday that Montreal playmaker — one of the most dynamic attacking midfielders in the league — Ignacio Piatti will miss at least a few more weeks with a calf injury.

Unless Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, who subbed on in Montreal’s recent 1-0 loss to Philadelphia, can come up with a big game, the Reds should be favoured to take care of business in a match with huge playoff implications for both teams.

DROGBA SLUGGISH?

The Ivorian legend, by some accounts, has lacked sharpness in training after starting just eight Premier League games for Chelsea last season. While he looked lively in a 1-0 loss to Philly last week, there’s still uncertainty surrounding how much the 37-year-old has in the tank.

After being held out of Wednesday night’s Canadian Cup final, Drogba could make his first MLS start at BMO Field this weekend.

If he struggles to get going, the Impact could be in tough to claim a playoff spot in the wide-open Eastern Conference — especially with Piatti out for the next few weeks.

RIVALRY WEEK

Good one, MLS.

With Saturday being “Rivalry Week” across Major League Soccer, it’s a no-brainer to have Montreal visit BMO Field.

But what about the rivalry taking place along the sideline?

The Professional Referee Organization announced this week that David Gantar will be the fourth official for Saturday’s 401 Derby.

It’s no secret there’s no love lost between TFC bench boss Greg Vanney and the Canadian referee.

You’ll remember Michael Bradley famously ripped into Gantar following last year’s game in Chicago when the Edmonton native incorrectly waived off a would-be game-winner from Gilberto.

Earlier this season, Gantar controversially sent off Justin Morrow early in a match in Columbus which paved the way for a disappointing 2-0 loss.

What will the banter between Vanney, Bradley and Gantar be like come Saturday?

BRADLEY STAYING PUT?

There’s a good chance Bradley will be available during TFC’s trip to Seattle next weekend.

Despite the U.S. national team hosting Peru in Washington D.C. on Sept. 4, Bradley is expected to skip that friendly.

It’s unclear if Jozy Altidore will be available as the Yanks prepare for a Confederations Cup playoff against Mexico in October.

BONO GETTING TIME

The Reds are hoping to get third-string ’keeper Alex Bono into real game action by the end of the season.

To do it, they’ll need for late-season games to lack playoff implications.

In other words, the Reds are hoping they’ll already be qualified for the post-season.

Toronto FC drafted Bono with its first pick in the 2015 draft.

Since then, he has only played for the club’s USL affiliate, TFC II.
