Our prediction for this MLS match:
Toronto FC and Sporting Kansas City go head to head at BMO Field in what is expected to be an interesting MLS game. The Reds quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to New York City, with the team outplaying Atlanta United at home ground at the weekend and, no doubt, they will try to keep their 100% record at BMO Field intact. Both Mabika and Owusu are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while the likes of Raoul Petretta, Sean Johnson, Richie Laryea, Nicksoen Gomis, and Brandon Servania remain in the recovery room.
The Wizards, on the other hand, struggled defensively in a 3-2 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Toronto FC, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The likes of Memo Rodriguez, Johnny Russell, Andreu Fontas, Khiry Shelton, and Logan Ndenbe are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
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 (Sporting Kansas City):
Sporting Kansas City have been competing in Major League Soccer since 1996 and they won their first MLS Cup trophy in 2000. The club faced Chicago Fire at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington in the play-offs final and Miklos Jon Molnar scored the winner for Bob Gansler’s team. 13 years later Sporting Kansas City met with Solt Lake in the title game and they were fortunate to defeat the Royals on penalties.
The Wizards welcome their rivals at Children’s Mercy Park, but they used to play some games at Blue Valley Sports Complex, Julian Field, Hermann Stadium and Durwood Soccer Stadium in the past as well. Sporting Kansas City were founded in 1995 and the club’s original name was Kansas City Wiz.
The Wizards wear navy blue shirts and dark blue shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is blue. Former Wigan Athletic man Roger Espinosa is regarded as one of the club’s most notable players and he has been playing for the Children’s Mercy Park outfit since 2015.
