Football Whispers’ Toronto vs Charlotte Betting Tips
In this article, we’ll share some of our key Toronto vs Charlotte predictions for the match on the 2nd of April at BMO Field.
Contents
Toronto to Win
There are so many reasons behind our key Toronto vs Charlotte prediction that we just don’t know where to begin with.
First of all, the two teams already played against each other last season. Both games ended with Toronto wining with a combined score of 6-0. Yes, Charlotte couldn’t find the net once. In fact, they only had four shots on target in these two matches.
Furthermore, Charlotte’s season isn’t going well as the team is currently in 14th place in the Eastern Conference while Toronto are 10th with only one loss since the beginning.
Over 1.5 Toronto Goals
A key factor that influenced our Toronto vs Charlotte prediction on Sunday is the fact that goalkeeper-in-chief Kristijan Kahlina is out with a nasty injury for Charlotte. Will Pablo Sisniega make a difference? If the past few games are any indication, the answer is no.
He conceded three against Atlanta United, and one against New York Red Bulls and Orlando City.
Also, coach Bob Bradley has some outstanding finishers to count on, and seeing as they haven’t been quite productive this season, a Federico Bernardeschi goal is long overdue.

Toronto vs Charlotte Lineups & Team News
Toronto
Toronto’s manager, Bob Bradley, is one who always sees the glass half-empty and the 1-3-1 Toronto record this season will hardly satisfy him. If he seeks a better performance from his team, he has to make some changes as the match versus San Jose Earthquakes last week should’ve certainly been won. Instead, it ended with a goalless tie that certainly fell in the category of boring MLS games this week.
Predicted lineup – Johnson (GK), Petretta, Hedges, Rosted, Laryea, Bradley, Kaye, Osorio, Servania, Bernardeschi & Akinola
Charlotte
Charlotte’s record this season amounts to one victory, one draw, and three losses. This is equal to barely four points which is nothing compared to Charlotte’s 2022 MLS season. Christian Lattanzio’s decision to rely on possessive soccer against New York Red Bulls didn’t prove successful as despite 74% possession, Charlotte barely scraped a 1-1 draw due to a misfortunate Andres Reyes own goal.
Predicted lineup – Marks (GK), Afful, Malanda, Byrne, Lindsay, Bronico, Jones, Santos, Vargas, Swiderski & Copetti

Player to Watch: Federico Bernardeschi
Undoubtedly, Toronto’s star is Lorenzo Insigne. The former Napoli captain’s skill is unquestionable but he is injured. So, it’s up to Federico Bernardesci to step up and be a difference-maker for Bob Bradley on Sunday. With two goals and one assist until matchday 5, Federico has been in tremendous form. His lethal goalscoring instinct is the thing separating Toronto from the riff-raff and we’re sure he’ll the most influential player on the 2nd of April at BMO Field.
