Prediction: 1-1
DC United
Sunday’s MLS game at BMO Field pits together Toronto FC and DC United, the two teams who are sitting in the opposite halves of the table. The Reds have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Montreal and Houston Dynamo without conceding. As a result, the bookies see them as favourites to pick up all three points from the match. Bear in mind, though, that both Bernardeschi and Osorio are banned for the match.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 4-3 loss to FC Dallas. Given the number of absentees in the home team, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from Sunday’s encounter. Boris Enow Takang misses out through suspension for the visiting side, while all Christopher Mcvey, Jackson Hopkins, Conner Antley, and Russell Canouse remain in the recovery room.
