Prediction: 2-1
Toronto FC
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Chicago Fire, Orlando City will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Toronto at Exploria Stadium. The Lions did well to put an end to their three-game winless run at the weekend, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. A man to watch in the home team will be Facundo Torres, who scored a brace against Chicago, while both Adam Grinwis and Abdi Salim are out of contention through injuries. '
The Reds, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Both Richie Laryea and Jonathan Osorio are on international duty with Canada, while all Matt Hedges, Victor Vazquez, Adama Diomande, and Michael Bradley should miss out through injuries.
