Toronto FC – New York Red Bulls, Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field
Two straight 1-0 victories over New England Revolution and FC Cincinnati has secured a Play Off-spot for Toronto FC who’re on a seven-game unbeaten streak. Toronto FC has been one of the stronger sides in recent seasons, reaching the final last year and crowned champions in 2017. Players to look out for this season are the Spaniard Alejandro Pozuelo, 7 goals, and the central defender Omar Gonzáles. Pozuelo’s, previously in Genk, goal production has been vital for Toronto FC and their way to the top of the table.
New York Red Bulls stands on 23 points and will have to fight for every point if they’re going to reach the Play Off. They come from a 1-0 win against Atlanta Utd where Caden Clark, 17 years old, scored the winning goal.

Orlando City – New York City, Orlando City Stadium
Orlando City takes on New York City in a game between the 4th and 5th placed team in the Eastern Conference. The home team haven’t lost a game since the end of august and are currently on an impressive streak. However, they still need a couple of more points to secure the Play Off-spot but will do so without doubts if they can just keep up the momentum. With both Nani and Robinho in the team Orlando City is a team worth keeping an eye on.
Wednesday’s opponents, New York City, also have a good chance to reach the Play Offs and are currently on 5th place in the Eastern Conference. New York City have made a good season so far but ran into trouble in their last game when they lost 2-1 against New England Revolution. Best goal scorer for New York City is somewhat surprisingly Anton Tinnerholm, a Swedish fullback who has found the net four times so far.
