Columbus play host to Toronto at their MPAFRE Stadium in what is expected to be an exciting MLS clash. Caleb Porter’s troops quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to New England Revolution, with the team beating New York City on the road. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Argentina international Lucas Zelayaran, who scored a brace in the 2-1 win over New York City.
The Reds, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Orlando City. The Canadian outfit continue to struggle on the travels, and seeing that several important first-team regulars left the club ahead of the start of the season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. Experienced attacker Jozy Altidore should continue to lead the line for the Reds.
Cincinnati will be looking to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Montreal when they face New England Revolution at Nippert Stadium on Saturday evening. Experienced attacker Jurgen Locadia, who scored as a substitute in the last league match, is pushing for a start. The Revs, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Columbus Crew and New York Red Bulls.
New England Revolution continue with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, and that is the main reason why away win should not be considered. Poland international Adam Buksa should be recalled to the starting XI after finding the net in the 3-1 win over the Metros. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Nippert Stadium, and we are tempted to put our money on draw.
