🗞️ Team News: Real Salt Lake

Zac MacMath (Back problems), Kobi Henry (Muscle injury) and Matthew Bell (Muscle injury) will not be able to play for Real Salt Lake gaffer Pablo Mastroeni.

It’s our opinion that Claret and Cobalt will possibly use a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one featuring Rafael Cabral, Bode Hidalgo, Brayan Vera, Justen Glad, Alexandros Katranis, Emeka Eneli, Braian Ojeda, Dominik Marczuk, Diego Luna, Diogo Goncalves and Jesus Barea.

📋 Team News: Toronto FC

Toronto FC boss Robin Fraser has a number of players out of action. Henry Wingo (Leg injury), Richie Laryea (Muscle injury), Ola Brynhildsen (Leg injury), Zane Monlouis (Leg injury), Nicksoen Gomis (Leg injury) and Deandre Kerr (Ankle injury) miss out here.

We believe The Reds seem most likely to make use of a 3-5-2 lineup, giving starts to Sean Johnson, Raoul Petretta, Kevin Long, Sigurd Rosted, Kosi Thompson, Jonathan Osorio, Lorenzo Insigne, Deybi Flores, Theodor Corbeanu, F. Bernardeschi and Derrick Etienne.

⚡ Prediction

We envisage that Real Salt Lake will probably score more than once when they meet Toronto FC, who may well struggle to score themselves.

We’re predicting a controlled 2-0 win for Real Salt Lake at the conclusion of the game.
