Prediction: 1-2
St Louis City
Out-of-form Toronto will look to put an end to their four-game losing run in MLS when they take on St Louis City at BMO Field. The Reds have been slipping down the standings week by week and it is more than obvious that new boss Terry Dunfield is struggling to help the team make some progress. Both Jonathan Osorio and Sean Johnson are on international duty, while Italian ace Federico Bernardeschi is sidelined through suspensions.
St Louis City, on the other hand, have been performing above expectations in their debut season, with the team leading the Western Conference ahead of the trip to Canada. The newcomers are more of a team than the Canadians and we predict that they will prove their worth on the field. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but all Eduard Lowen, Joao Klauss, and Joakim Nilsson remain on the sidelines with injury.
Highlighted Player (Lorenzo Insigne):
Born in Frattamaggiore, Naples on June 4, 1991, Lorenzo Insigne is an Italian footballer who plays for his hometown club Napoli in the Serie A. Insigne is a product of Olimpia Sant’Arpino football school, but he joined the Partenopei at the age of 15.
The diminutive attacker scored his first ever goal in the Italian top flight on September 16, 2012 in a 3-1 win over Parma. Insigne, who played for the likes of Cavese, Foggia and Pescara on loan before returning to Naples, made his debut with the Italian national team on September 11, 2012 in the World Cup qualifier against Malta.
The Napoli forward scored his first ever goal for the Azzurri in a friendly against Argentina on August 14, 2013. His main position is left winger, but he is used as a second striker as well. Lorenzo Insigne has a contract with Napoli until June 30, 2022.
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.
