ℹ️ Team News: Toronto FC

Richie Laryea (Muscle injury), Nicksoen Gomis (Achilles tendon surgery), Kobe Franklin (Ankle injury) and Deandre Kerr (Ankle injury) won’t be playing for Toronto FC boss Robin Fraser.

It’s our opinion that The Reds should make use of the 4-3-3 formation for this one with Sean Johnson, Kosi Thompson, Zane Monlouis, Lazar Stefanovic, Raoul Petretta, Deybi Flores, Lorenzo Insigne, Jonathan Osorio, Maxime Dominguez, Ola Brynhildsen and Tyrese Spicer.

🗞️ Team News: Charlotte FC

Charlotte FC manager Dean Smith has a number of players out of action. Nathan Byrne (Neck injury), Jahlane Forbes (Muscle injury), Nimfasha Berchimas (Foot injury) and Brandon Cambridge (Muscle injury) can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that Charlotte FC will likely play in a 4-3-3 system, starting David Bingham, J. Marshall-Rutty, Andrew Privett, Adilson Malanda, Souleyman Doumbia, Pep Biel, Ashley Westwood, Brandt Bronico, Liel Abada, Patrick Agyemang and Wilfried Zaha.

✨ Prediction

We envisage that Charlotte FC and Toronto FC are both capable of scoring here.

Shouldn’t be much in it, and a draw looks quite a realistic result. That’s why our selection here is for a tight encounter with a 1-1 score draw after 90 minutes.
