📋 Team News: Orlando City

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the Orlando City manager Óscar Pareja to be concerned with from a near full-strength set of players. Ramiro Enrique (Ankle injury) misses out.

📋 Team News: Toronto FC

Toronto FC boss John Herdman has multiple availability issues to deal with. Lorenzo Insigne (Hamstring injury), Shane O'Neill (Thigh problems), Richie Laryea (Hamstring injury) and Brandon Servania (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.

We reckon that it will be a comfortable 3-1 win for Orlando City when all’s said and done.
