It’s been a rare occasion in recent times that Toronto FC have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Toronto FC have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 8 goals in the process. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this match, though.

📰 Team News: Toronto FC

We are thinking that The Reds will possibly line up in a 4-4-2 formation for this one, utilising Sean Johnson, Henry Wingo, Zane Monlouis, Raoul Petretta, Tyrese Spicer, Theodor Corbeanu, Alonso Coello, Deybi Flores, Jonathan Osorio, Derrick Etienne and Ola Brynhildsen.

📋 Team News: Philadelphia Union

It’s our belief that The U seem most likely to play in a 4-4-2 lineup with a starting lineup of Andre Blake, Francis Westfield, Jakob Glesnes, Nathan Harriel, Kai Wagner, Quinn Sullivan, Jesus Bueno, Jovan Lukic, Indiana Vassilev, Tai Baribo and Bruno Damiani.

💡 Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that Toronto FC will need to apply a lot of pressure to be putting a goal past this Philadelphia Union lineup who we think might end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore fancy a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 victory for Philadelphia Union at the conclusion of the game.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
