Our prediction for this MLS match:
Toronto will look to extend their unbeaten run to five games when they take on Charlotte at BMO Field on Sunday morning. The Reds are eyeing their only second win of the process, but they will have to do it without Italian superstar Lorenzo Insigne, who remains in the recovery room alongside Adama Diomande and Cristian Gutierrez.
Christian Lattanzio’s men, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with New York Red Bulls. Toronto and Charlotte seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and, taking everything into account, we predict that they are going to share the spoils at BMO Field. Both Kristijan Kahlina and Guzman Corujo are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team. In each of their previous two meetings in the Major League Soccer Toronto defeated Charlotte, but a close encounter is on the cards this time out.
Highlighted Team (Toronto FC):
Toronto is a club based in Canada, but they have been competing in Major League Soccer since 2007. Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment own both the soccer club and National Hockey League’s Toronto Maple Leafs. BMO Field is the club’s home ground and the capacity of the stadium is 30.000.
The Canadian outfit impressed in the 2016 MLS Cup and they faced Seattle Sounders in the title game at BMO Field. However, the Canadians were more than unfortunate not to lift the silverware as they were beaten by the Sounders on penalties.
Speaking of the Canadian Championship, Toronto FC won their fifth domestic title in 2016, with the team beating Vancouver Whitecaps in the final of the tournament. Montreal Impact are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in meetings between the two Canadian sides. Toronto FC’s home kit is red and it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Reds. It has to be noted that the club was founded back in 2005.
