Toronto and the New England Revolution will both endeavour to claim their third MLS victories on the bounce in Wednesday’s showdown at BMO Field.
Bob Bradley‘s men ran out 3-1 winners over the Portland Timbers last time out, while their visitors recorded another shut-out in a 1-0 success over DC United.
Match preview
Toronto’s goal-getting midfielder Osorio picked up his fifth booking of the MLS season on Saturday, but the Good Behaviour Incentive means that the 30-year-old will not serve a suspension after going more than five games before being cautioned again.
Bradley is still without the services of Quentin Westberg and Noble Okello due to lower-body injuries, while Mark-Anthony Kaye‘s issue of a similar nature may not let up in time for Wednesday either.
The hosting manager has no real reason to alter a winning formula, but Ayo Akinola continues to push for the striker’s spot over Jesus Jimenez, who has now gone eight games without finding the back of the net.
As for the Revs, defender Jon Bell was fit enough to make the bench in the win over DC United, but Jacob Jackson, Gustavo Bou, Ismael Tajouri Maciel and Dylan Borrero were all absent.
Andrew Farrell managed to avoid a booking which would have seen him take his place on the naughty step for this game, and Arena would ideally hope to stick with a winning formula as well.
Should tired legs come into play, Christian Makoun and Noel Buck are among those waiting in the wings, as Justin Rennicks once again spearheads a depleted Revs attack.
