Aiming to turn their season around and avoid a sixth consecutive defeat, Toronto welcome high-flying Inter Miami to BMO Field on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the visiting team make the journey in search of a third league victory on the bounce having turned a corner in recent weeks.


Match preview

Inter Miami claimed a second 1-0 win on the bounce as they saw off the threat of defending champions Columbus Crew in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday.

Gonzalo Higuain opened the scoring quarter of an hour into the contest and that proved enough to secure all three points for Phil Neville's men.

The Herons have now moved up into ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings, two points adrift of the last playoff spot with a game in hand.

Awaiting them next is a third ever meeting with a Toronto side against whom they have won and lost one game apiece in the previous clashes between the sides.

Wednesday's visitors did come out on top in the most recent contest, picking up an emphatic 3-1 victory in a largely one-sided affair on August 22.

Despite their best efforts on the day, Toronto were left empty-handed once again following a 2-0 defeat against FC Cincinnati on Sunday.

Goals in either half from Brenner and veteran midfielder Haris Medunjanin condemned Javier Perez's men to a disappointing loss at the TQL Stadium.

Having picked up just 15 points all-season long, the Reds remain rock-bottom in the Eastern Conference with a playoff place now looking increasingly unachievable.

After finishing second last season, Wednesday's hosts have had a campaign to forget this term, majorly due to their defensive frailties which have seen them concede a league-high 49 goals.

Team News

Nineteen-year-old Ian Fray continues his lengthy spell on the sidelines with a cruciate ligament injury and is not expected to make a comeback anytime soon.

Joevin Jones has missed his side's last 12 games due to a knee problem, which he picked up in a 2-1 defeat versus Orlando City back in June.

Inter Miami will also have to make do with the absence of 29-year-old defender Ventura Alvarado who is currently nursing a muscle injury.

Ayomide Akinola has not featured for Wednesday's hosts since damaging his knee while in action with the Canada national team at the Gold Cup.

Jozy Altidore is yet to recover from a foot injury, while Ralph Priso-Mbongue is still a long way off making his return to action from a broken ankle.

Toronto possible starting lineup:
Westberg; Morrow, Mavinga, Gonzalez, Auro; Delgado, Bradley, Mullins; Achara, Endoh, Dwyer

Inter Miami possible starting lineup:
Marsman; Makoun, Figal, Pirez; Shea, Matuidi, Gregore, Morgan; Pizarro, Robinson, Higuain


We say: Toronto 1-2 Inter Miami

Inter Miami have been the better team of late and will fancy their chances of claiming all three points against a Toronto side struggling both home and away. We fancy the visitors to emerge victorious at the sound of the final whistle and continue their fine run of form.
