Prediction: 2-1
Nashville
A place in the MLS playoffs quarter-finals will be at stake when Toronto and Nashville face each other at BMO Field in what is expected to be a very exciting game. Nashville set up a meeting with Toronto by rolling over Inter Miami 3-0, meaning that they are high on spirits ahead of the trip to Canada. It has to be noted that both Badji and Danladi are quarantined, while Maher misses the Toronto game through injury.
The Reds, on the other hand, finished the regular season in second position in the Eastern Conference, only three points behind Philadelphia Union. Toronto are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and despite Nashville’ fine form, we believe that home win should be considered. The Reds are a more experienced side than Gary Smith’s troops, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. Achara, Bono, Morrow, and Piatti are injured, while Delgado has been tested positive for coronavirus.
