THE PREDICTION

A 2-1 victory away at New York City last weekend ended a small run of back-to-back defeats as the home team come into this firmly ensconced in mid-table at the early stage but that indifferent form at the start of the campaign could be attributed to their involvement in the CONCACAF Champions League so their elimination from that could lead to an adjustment whereby they become more consistent in the league as they can focus on MLS. They come up against a Toronto side that have started very badly, also potentially due to similar reasons for Columbus with continental competition being an early season distraction. A theme of both sides has been a lack of goals with the hosts having scored just five goals in their six games and Toronto notching seven in six. Given that, this one looks likely to be a low-scoring encounter.
