Player to watch: Federico Bernardeschi
The 30-year-old winger will be the key obstacle for our Montreal vs Toronto predictions. The former Juventus superstar scored a total of eight goals in 2024. Furthermore, he also added five assists to his already impressive record.
Second player to watch: Lorenzo Insigne
The Italian maestro also deserves a shoutout. Yes, he isn’t exactly thriving in 2024, but he is still one of the most prolific soccer players in Major League Soccer today. We are sure he’s capable of way more than what we’ve seen from him thus far.
