Prediction: 1-1
New York City FC
All eyes will be on BMO Field when Toronto and New York City face each other in the Major League Soccer on Thursday morning. Toronto aim to bounce back from a massive 5-0 defeat to Philadelphia Union, but they will have to do it without several first-team regulars. The likes of Zavaleta, Mavinga, and Akinola have all been tested positive for coronavirus, while Achara, Altidore, and Bono are all sidelined with injury.
New York City, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Columbus, with the team beating Montreal Impact at home at the weekend. Considering that the Reds head into the match with a severely-weakened squad, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Sands, Zelalem, and Heber are all out of contention through injury, while Gray is quarantined.
