Prediction: 1-2
Atlanta United
BMO Field will host Sunday’s football game between Toronto and Atlanta United, the two bottom-table sides. Toronto aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to New York Red Bulls, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Both Chris Mavinga and Noble Okello are out of contention with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Inter Miami. Atlanta have been in a much better form of late than Toronto, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on the visiting side. All Santiago Sosa, Andrew Gutman, Miles Robinson, Brad Guzan, Dylan Castanheira, and Osvaldo Alonso are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the away team, but Thiago Almada is back from suspension.
