Intriguing match, this. Toronto FC and New York Red Bulls are about to clash and it's a tantalizing proposition. Carlos Coronel is our key keeper for the Red Bulls, hammering in a solid 7.30 rating with 17 saves. Toronto FC counters with Sean Johnson, showing a comparable 7.27 rating with 13 saves in his kit.
A bunch of interesting names from the Red Bulls, eh? Let's chat about Tim Parker and Cameron Harper, both boasting impressive 7+ ratings. Parker may not have scored any goals, but his unerring accuracy with the ball can't be overlooked, while Harper has managed 2 goals with a slightly lower passing accuracy. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is their weapon up front, his 3 goals will definitely pose a threat.
Over at Toronto FC, we are looking at Deybi Flores and Raoul Petretta. Both players possess admirable 7+ ratings. Despite not having goals to their names, their passing accuracy is worth noting. The sharpshooter for Toronto, if you are wondering, is Jonathan Osorio with 1 goal to his name.
In terms of previous meetings between this duo, Red Bulls have a clear edge with 3 victories out of 5. Their regular season record also paints a similar story, with Red Bulls at 8-3-7 and Toronto at a rather underwhelming 3-4-10.
As we take a quick peek at their recent performances, Red Bulls have won 3 out of their last 5 matches. The Toronto camp, on the other hand, seems to be struggling with just a single victory in their last 5 matches.
Putting it all together, it so appears that New York Red Bulls might have a busy evening featuring several goal celebrations ahead.
