Los Angeles FC vs Toronto FC Preview and Team News

Los Angeles FC Team News

Los Angeles have three vital players sidelined due to injuries: Aaron Long, Igor Jesus, and Odin Holm. Their absences give the club the chance to test their bench strength and see how strongly they can finish the season. Manager Steven Cherundolo is known for placing a lot of importance on wing-based play, and that’s why he prefers to line up in a 4-3-3 formation. 

LAFC have won their last five fixtures in a row and sit fourth in the Western table. In the race for the Supporters’ Shield, they are ninth, and it looks increasingly doubtful that they’ll make it to the top. 

However, the comprehensive nature of their midfield and flank-based play has made LAFC one of the teams to watch out for, especially when playing on the counter. They’re quick on the break, too.

The hosts have scored 16 goals in their last five matches, highlighting their brilliance in the final third. Their willingness to quickly pass the ball and then get into good positions to take shots has worked wonders. Denis Bouanga has the most shots on target per game for LAFC (2.4) and will be a player to watch closely.

Los Angeles FC predicted lineup vs Toronto FC (4-3-3): Lloris; Hollingshead, Tafari, Porteous, Palencia; Delgado, Segura, Choiniere; Bouanga, Son, Tillman.

Toronto FC Team News

Henry Wingo is sidelined due to a muscle injury, as are Kevin Long, Nicksoen Gomis, and Zane Monlouis. The team favor a 4-3-1-2 formation. The interplay between their attackers is what spectators come to watch and applaud, and the same is expected to be on display here. They do well in one-on-one situations, trusting their instincts.

While Derrick Etienne is known for his sharpshooting skills and finishing accuracy, the other two attackers – Djordje Mihailovic and Deandre Kerr – like to cross the ball and play on the overlap. 

Toronto have not been nearly as clinical as their opponents in the final third recently and have scored just six goals in five matches. Moreover, they also remain winless in ten straight outings, a run that has only added to the frustration inside their dressing room. 

In their recent 2-2 draw with the Chicago Fire, their attacking midfielder, Mihailovic, impressed a lot. Despite missing a penalty, he hit it on the rebound. He had the fewest touches (45) of any outfield player to play 90 minutes, but showcased a passing accuracy of 88%. Moreover, his xG stood at 1.06, proving that he was the one through whom most of Toronto’s attacks were built. 

Toronto FC predicted lineup vs Los Angeles FC (4-3-1-2): Johnson; Franklin, Rosted, Thompson, Laryea; Osorio, Cifuentes, Coello; Mihailovic; Etienne, Kerr.

Los Angeles FC vs Toronto FC Prediction

  • Pick: Los Angeles FC to win
  • Odds: -238 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Los Angeles FC 2-1 Toronto FC

We expect Los Angeles FC to win purely due to the partnership that their attackers are known to form in the final third. There are very few teams that can put a stop to the hegemony that LAFC’s attackers have inside the box, and Toronto are likely to suffer as well.

With the addition of former Tottenham Hotspur attacker Heung-Min Son in their ranks, Los Angeles have become more lethal. The South Korean has hit the ground running in California and can become one of the most sought-after players in this league. LAFC attack from both sides and sometimes even upturn the players operating on the flanks to create new modes of attack.

Los Angeles FC vs Toronto FC Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: First half total – over 1 goal
  • Odds: -192 (20Bet)

We expect more than one goal to be scored in the first half. LAFC should be favorites to open the scoring and then add another to their tally. Toronto’s attacking unit promises a lot, but the results have just not added up to their potential. The visiting side will need to focus on marking their opponents closely, not just in defense, but also in midfield. 

The fact that the home team sport a 4-3-3 formation could work in TFC’s favor, since their midfielders might feel a tad lighter when marking their opposite numbers. If they manage to disrupt play in midfield itself, the Canadian club may prevent LAFC’s attackers from ruling the roost.
