ℹ️ Team News: Toronto FC

Looking at personnel, there is just one fitness concern for the Toronto FC manager Robin Fraser to be concerned about due to a largely intact set of players. Richie Laryea (Muscle injury) is sidelined.

We are thinking that The Reds may well opt for a 3-5-2 formation this time with Sean Johnson, Raoul Petretta, Kevin Long, Sigurd Rosted, Kosi Thompson, Jonathan Osorio, Lorenzo Insigne, Deybi Flores, Theodor Corbeanu, F. Bernardeschi and Derrick Etienne.

🗞️ Team News: Minnesota United

Minnesota United boss Eric Ramsay has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Hassani Dotson (Meniscus injury) and Kipp Keller (Hamstring injury) miss out here.

From our viewpoint, Loons seem likely to play in a 5-3-2 formation, settling for Dayne St. Clair, Michael Boxall, Nicolas Romero, Jefferson Diaz, Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Joseph Rosales, Joaquin Pereyra, Wil Trapp, Robin Lod, Kelvin Yeboah and Tani Oluwaseyi.

🔮 Prediction

Our feeling is that Minnesota United and Toronto FC could well both score and end up finding themselves in a fairly even game here.

A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely. Therefore, we predict a tight encounter, finishing with a 1-1 draw when the full-time whistle blows.
