Our prediction for this MLS match:
BMO Field will host Saturday’s football game between Toronto and Inter Miami, the two teams who have big ambitions for the 2023 MLS season. The Reds are desperate to record their first win of the season, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Inter Miami. All Ayo Akinola, Adama Diomande, Cristian Gutierrez, and Lorenzo Insigne remain in the recovery room, while Themi Antonoglou is a major doubt.
The Herons, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to New York City. Since the visitors will go for a win as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Inter Miami’s injury list includes the likes of Gregore, Leonardo Campana, Robbie Robinson, Noah Allen, Edison Azcona, and Ian Fray. You should know that seven goals in total have been netted in the previous three meetings between the two sides.
Highlighted Player (DeAndre Yedlin):
DeAndre Yedlin is a versatile 22-year-old young American footballer who is currently on loan at Sunderland from English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur. His primary position is as a right-back but Yedlin can also play as a wingback or a wide midfielder. He is known for his speed on the wings and getting great crosses on the flanks.
Yedlin was part of Washington Youth Soccer’s State Olympic Development Program from 2006-09 before joining the Seattle Sounders FC youth academy in 2010. He played college soccer at the University of Akron starting in 20 games for the Zips.
Yedlin soon made his mark with Seattle Sounders and earned the record of becoming the first rookie to be named to the MLS team of the Week on his professional debut and the second rookie to make it to the All-star team. He earned his senior team debut in 2014 and has 33 caps to his name.
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.
