Prediction: 2-1
Toronto FC
There will be fireworks when Montreal and Toronto square off against each other in the Canadian derby. Montreal aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to LA Galaxy and Sporting Kansas City, with the team eyeing their sixth home win of the process. All Djordje Mihailovic, Tomas Giraldo, and Bjorn Johnsen continue to miss out with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
A man to watch in the home side will be Honduras international Romell Quioto, who scored his seventh goal of the season in the loss to Sporting. The Reds, on the other hand, failed to impress in a midweek loss at Chicago Fire (0-2), and given their poor away record, we predict that Montreal are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s clash. Chris Mavinga is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league fixture, while both Lorenzo Insigne and Noble Okello remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Romell Quioto):
Romell Quioto is a pacey winger who plays for both Houston Dynamo and the Honduras national football team. Quioto was born in Balfate (Honduras) on August 9, 1991 and he played for Union Ajax during his youth career. The Honduras striker started his senior career at Vida and it has to be noted that he scored 20 goals in 77 appearances in the league for the club.
In 2012 he was sent on loan to Polish club Wisla Krakow, but he played no more than nine games for The White Star in Ekstraklasa. Romell Quioto then took a step forward in his career as he signed a contract with famous Honduras club Olimpia. After scoring 38 goals in 96 league fixtures for the capital club the 180-cm-tall attacker decided to taste MLS football.
Quioto moved to Houston Dynamo in December, 2016 and he has been playing for the Major League Soccer club ever since. Speaking of his international debut, Romell Quioto received his first call-up for Honduras on February 29, 2012 for a friendly game against Ecuador.
Highlighted Team (Toronto FC):
Toronto is a club based in Canada, but they have been competing in Major League Soccer since 2007. Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment own both the soccer club and National Hockey League’s Toronto Maple Leafs. BMO Field is the club’s home ground and the capacity of the stadium is 30.000.
The Canadian outfit impressed in the 2016 MLS Cup and they faced Seattle Sounders in the title game at BMO Field. However, the Canadians were more than unfortunate not to lift the silverware as they were beaten by the Sounders on penalties.
Speaking of the Canadian Championship, Toronto FC won their fifth domestic title in 2016, with the team beating Vancouver Whitecaps in the final of the tournament. Montreal Impact are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in meetings between the two Canadian sides. Toronto FC’s home kit is red and it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Reds. It has to be noted that the club was founded back in 2005.
