Toronto to Win
First of all, let us preface our Montreal vs Toronto predictions by saying that coach Hernan Losada’s problem is as jarringly obvious as a bucket to the head. There are just too many injured players that he must somehow find substitutes for. First, we have goalkeeper-in-chief James Pantemis suffering a shoulder injury, then team captain Samuel Piette also got injured, and to top it all off – Matko Miljevic and Mason Toye both sustained torn meniscus injuries.
It will be a win for Hernan Losada to actually find the right players to fill in the gaps let alone not lose to Toronto on Sunday.
Over 1.5 Toronto Goals
The James Pantemis-shaped hole at the back of the home team’s defense is the key reason behind our Montreal vs Toronto prediction this week. He was the only thing between the opposition’s strikers and the goal and we’re sure his absence will help Toronto find the net.
Coach Bob Bradley’s boys failed to make chances pay last week when they faced New England Revolution but we are sure that the famous Bernardesci-Insigne combo will click into gear to produce plenty of great goalscoring opportunities.

Montreal vs Toronto Lineups & Team News
Montreal
As we mentioned previously in our Montreal vs Toronto predictions, coach Hernan Losada has some difficult decisions to make. With so many key players injured, it’s remarkable how the Argentine manager managed to scrape together an up-to-par side versus the Lions last week. Not only did his boys perform well but the cherry on top of their display was the result – 2-0 in favor of Montreal vs Orlando City.
Predicted lineup – Sirois (GK), Waterman, Camacho, Corbo, Iliadis, Choiniere, Wanyama, Herrera, Lassiter, Dukek & Offor
Toronto
We go on and on about the Federico Bernardesci – Lorenzo Insigne duo in Toronto’s attack but despite the 20 shots at target versus New England last week, the two couldn’t produce anything valuable. The match ended 0-2 in favor of Bruce Arena’s boys but we are sure that two gladiators such as the Italians will brush the rustiness aside and have a cracking game versus Montreal.
Predicted lineup – Johnson (GK), Petretta, Hedges, Rosted, Laryea, Servania, Kaye, Coello, Insigne, Bernardeschi & Sapong
Starting Lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to Watch: Federico Bernardeschi
Sure, Federico missed a couple of good goalscoring opportunities versus New England Revolution last week but we have to cut him some slack. He’s Toronto’s leading goalscorer this season and the second-best creator.
Federico Bernardesci slid it past the goalkeepers on three occasions this season whilst assisting his teammates for two goals. Now that Lorenzo Insigne is back in the starting XI for coach Bob Bradley, we see Bernardeschi’s display receive a serious boost as the two Italians gelled quite well.
