Prediction: 2-2
Orlando City
Toronto will look to put an end to their four-game losing run when they face Orlando City on Thursday morning. The Reds suffered a dip in form, but the midweek clash could be the turning point for the Canadian outfit. Italian duo Lorenzo Insigne – Federico Bernardeschi should keep their spots in the starting XI, while all Sean Johnson, Richie Laryea, and Jonathan Osorio are still on the international duty.
The Lions, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 4-2 loss to New York City. As both Toronto and Orlando City will go for a win in Thursday’s showdown, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer Toronto defeated Orlando City 2-1. As for the away team, both Wilder Cartagena and Pedro Gallese are on the international duty, while the likes of Ramiro Enrique, Michael Halliday, and Tahir Reid-Brown miss out with injuries.
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 (Orlando City):
Orlando City are a member of the Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer. The Lions have been participating in the major league since 2015 and they host their rivals at Orlando City Stadium. The venue was opened in February, 2017 and the construction of the stadium cost $155 million. Orlando City finished the 2015 MLS season in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and they failed to make it to the play-offs in the 2016 season as well (8th place).
Brazilian ace Kaka is undisputedly the club’s most famous player and the former Real Madrid and Milan man became the highest-paid player in MLS history. His base salary was $6.6 million per year and it has to be noted that the Brazilian superstar found the net on his Orlando City debut against FC Dallas (friendly). Orlando City’s home kit is violet, while they wear white and violet shirts and white socks on the travels. The club’s official mascot is Kingston the Lion.
