On May 14th, Toronto will host Orlando City at Bmo Field in a meeting of these two mismatched Major League Soccer teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, a perfect day for football. Toronto is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Vancouver Whitecaps. Ricketts scored the first goal for Vancouver Whitecaps in the 90th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Toronto was frustrated by Vancouver Whitecaps’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Vancouver Whitecaps ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while in their last match, Orlando City recorded a 1-4 loss against Montreal Impact. Joel Waterman scored the first goal for Montreal Impact in the 21st minute, then Djordje Mihailovic added another in the 52nd minute on a feed from Alistair Johnston. Orlando City is looking for direction having 4 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Orlando City won the head to head battle with 2 wins and 1 draw.
Orlando City’s top weapon lately has been Ercan Kara, who has 2 goals in the last 5 matches. Jesús Jiménez has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the attacker has scored four goals for Toronto.
