Prediction: 1-0
Charlotte
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over New England Revolution, Toronto FC will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Charlotte on Saturday evening. The Reds are eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet and we are positive that they will rely on their rock-solid defence against Charlotte. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Lorenzo Insigne, who sealed the victory against the Revs, while both Jordan Perruzza and Deandre Kerr are sidelined with injuries.
The visitors, on the other hand, have been involved in some low-scoring games at the start of the season as well and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. All Tyger Smalls, Brandon Cambridge, Brandt Bronico, and Ben Bender are out of contention through injuries, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Lorenzo Insigne):
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 (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.
