Our prediction for this MLS match:
Toronto will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Toronto and Nashville when they take on Montreal on Sunday morning. The Reds suffered a dip in form, but they are still seen as favourites to win the Canadian derby. Federico Bernardeschi is back from suspension, while all Jonathan Osorio, Marshall-Rutty, Shane ONeill, and Brandon Servania should miss out with injuries.
The visitors aim to put an end to their three-game losing run in the Major League Soccer, but given their shaky defence, we are going to place our bets on the hosts this time out. Montreal’s injury list remains pretty long, with all Lassi Lappalainen, Ousman Jabang, Raheem Edwards, Nathan-Dylan Saliba, Grayson Doody, Josef Martinez, Matias Coccaro, and Kwadwo Opoku remain in the recovery room. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer Montreal defeated Toronto 3-2, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
