Prediction: 2-0
Toronto FC
Colorado Rapids will be looking to return to winning ways when they face Toronto FC at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The hosts have been solid at home recently, and despite injuries to the likes of Lalas Abubakar, Sam Vines, and Kevin Cabral, they’ll be confident of securing three points. Toronto FC, meanwhile, head into the match following a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Columbus Crew and have struggled for form throughout the season. With a lengthy injury list that includes Sharp, Wingo, Gomis, and Long, the Reds face a difficult task in Sunday's encounter.
Given Colorado’s impressive home form and Toronto’s ongoing struggles, the Rapids are well-positioned to claim a much-needed victory. The visitors have found it difficult to compete away from home and will be missing several key players, making it tough to match Colorado’s intensity. Taking everything into account, we predict that Colorado are going to extend their fine winning run at home ground.

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 (Colorado Rapids):
Colorado Rapids is a Major League Soccer club and they compete in the USA professional soccer league as a member of the Western Conference. Colorado began their play in MLS back in 1996 and 14 years later they managed to win the MLS Cup trophy. The Rapids recorded a 2-1 win over FC Dallas in the final of the tournament, with George John scoring the winner for Gary Smith’s team in the extra time. Colorado made it to the MLS Cup final in 1997 as well, but D.C. United proved to be a big catch for the club in the title game.
The Rapids play their home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park and the venue has been Colorado’s home ground since 2007. It has to be noted that the likes of Tim Howard, Carlos Valderama, Claudio Lopez and Jermaine Jones were all part of the club in the past. Colorado’s colors are red, sky blue and white, but they were yellow shirts and blue shorts when playing on the travels.
