Atlanta United
Toronto FC and Atlanta United take on each other at BMO Field in what is expected to be a close Major League Soccer encounter. The start of the season has been a mixed bag for the Reds, who are sitting in 5th place in the Eastern Conference ahead of Saturday’s showdown. All Paoul Petretta, Jonathan Osorio, Richie Laryea, Sean Johnson, Nicksoen Gomis, and Brandon Servania are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, proved their worth in back-to-back wins over New England Revolution and Orlando City. As Atlanta United are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team. In their last meeting in the MLS the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.
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.
