Montreal Impact vs Toronto FC Predictions and Betting Tips
The Saputo Stadium is the venue for this highly anticipated encounter between Montreal Impact and Toronto FC. With both teams in desperate need of all three points, which of the sides will bag it for themselves?
Montreal Impact has been decent since the league restarted with the side winning two of the three games played since the restart. With clean sheets in those two wins, Thierry Henry and his boys will be looking towards replicating those performances in the next few games.
Taking into account the postponement of their game against DC United which was scheduled for last Saturday, the team is expected to be fit and fresh for this Canadian classic.
Toronto FC, on the other hand, are in desperate need of a positive result with the team currently on a two-game losing streak. During that time, Columbus Crew and Philadelphia Union have gone past them on the league standings. Head Coach Greg Vanney needs to deliver nothing but a win in this game if he's to put pressure on those two. Will the Toronto-based side be able to secure this all-important three points?
In their previous game, they fell short against Vancouver Whitecaps with the game ending 3-2. With the game perfectly balanced at halftime- both teams scoring a goal each, the Whitecaps seized the day scoring an additional two to secure the three points much to the despair of the Toronto FC faithful.
Montreal Impact recorded a vital win against their fellow Canadians last Wednesday courtesy of a solitary goal. The all-important goal came in the 14th minute as Rudy Camacho pounced on Rommel Quioto's cross following a short corner. Given that this would be the third game between these two Canadian teams, and with Toronto FC winning the first game, which side will establish dominance over the other?
Montreal Impact possible starting XI:
Diop; Camacho, Binks, Raitala; Guillard, Piette, Wanyama, Maciel, Lappalainer; Taider; Orji.
Toronto FC possible starting XI:
Westberg; Morrow, Mavinga, Gonzalez, Auro; Bradley, Fraser; Piatti, Osorio, Pozuelo; Altidore.
Montreal Impact vs Toronto FC Prediction: 1-1
This game is expected to be a tightly contested affair given both side's hunger for the three points. However, we don't see any particular side coming atop after 90 minutes of play. With respect to goals scored, the under 2.5 goals is another option given to be pondered upon.
