📋 Team News: Toronto FC

We are thinking that The Reds will probably opt for a 4-2-3-1 system for this one, handing starts to Sean Johnson, Kosi Thompson, Kevin Long, Sigurd Rosted, Raoul Petretta, Deybi Flores, Jonathan Osorio, F. Bernardeschi, Lorenzo Insigne, Theo Corbeanu and Ola Brynhildsen.

🗞️ Team News: New York City FC

New York City FC boss Pascal Jansen has to currently contend with reduced team options. Jacob Arroyave (Knee injury) and Malachi Jones (Broken leg) are those who can’t be considered.

It’s our belief that The Pigeons seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-5-1 formation with a starting lineup of Matt Freese, Tayvon Gray, Thiago Martins, Justin Haak, Kevin OToole, Monsef Bakrar, Hannes Wolf, Jonathan Shore, Maxi Moralez, Agustin Ojeda and Alonso Martínez.

💭 Prediction

In our opinion, New York City FC and Toronto FC should play out a closely-fought contest here.

We’ll see, but this looks like it could end up all-square. We therefore think that it’s going to be a tight encounter with a 1-1 score draw when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
