Toronto FC vs Austin FC Prediction & Betting Tips | 15/09/2024 | Football

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

Our prediction for this MLS match:

Toronto FC

Toronto FC

Austin FC

Austin FC

Toronto play host to Austin at their BMO Field in what is expected to be an interesting MLS encounter. The Reds aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to DC United and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against los Verdes. Honduras international Deybi Flores serves a one-game ban, while fellow midfielder Coello Camarero has yet to overcome a thigh injury.

Austin, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps before the international break. As Josh Wolff’s troops have already suffered seven defeats on the road this season, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. To make things even worse for the away team, defender Guilherme Biro is banned for the match. You should bear in mind that the two sides meet for the first time at BMO Field.

Prediction:

Highlighted Player (Lorenzo Insigne):

Lorenzo Insigne

Born in Frattamaggiore, Naples on June 4, 1991, Lorenzo Insigne is an Italian footballer who plays for his hometown club Napoli in the Serie A. Insigne is a product of Olimpia Sant’Arpino football school, but he joined the Partenopei at the age of 15.

The diminutive attacker scored his first ever goal in the Italian top flight on September 16, 2012 in a 3-1 win over Parma. Insigne, who played for the likes of Cavese, Foggia and Pescara on loan before returning to Naples, made his debut with the Italian national team on September 11, 2012 in the World Cup qualifier against Malta.

The Napoli forward scored his first ever goal for the Azzurri in a friendly against Argentina on August 14, 2013. His main position is left winger, but he is used as a second striker as well. Lorenzo Insigne has a contract with Napoli until June 30, 2022.

Highlighted Team (Toronto FC):

Toronto FC

Toronto is a club based in Canada, but they have been competing in Major League Soccer since 2007. Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment own both the soccer club and National Hockey League’s Toronto Maple Leafs. BMO Field is the club’s home ground and the capacity of the stadium is 30.000.

The Canadian outfit impressed in the 2016 MLS Cup and they faced Seattle Sounders in the title game at BMO Field. However, the Canadians were more than unfortunate not to lift the silverware as they were beaten by the Sounders on penalties.

Speaking of the Canadian Championship, Toronto FC won their fifth domestic title in 2016, with the team beating Vancouver Whitecaps in the final of the tournament. Montreal Impact are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in meetings between the two Canadian sides. Toronto FC’s home kit is red and it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Reds. It has to be noted that the club was founded back in 2005.
