NYCFC vs. Toronto - Match Preview

NYCFC are in Canada for their Matchday 5 game. The game will start at 4:00 pm ET on Saturday.

NYCFC is coming of a disapointing 2-0 loss to Philadelphia. They were the better team, but lacked quality in the final third. Toronto is coming off a better result. They came back from down 1-0 to win 2-1.

The real excitement for NYCFC fans: Head Coach Ronny Deila said in a report that Gabriel Pereira will likely make his debut appearance for New York. In addition, Taty Castellanos also said that he thinks the goals in MLS are about to come. If Taty starts scoring, and Pereira plays well, we may have a bright season ahead of us.

NYCFC also have had the rest that they needed. Almost two weeks off, which means they have had plenty of rest. Everyone should be available except for Anton Tinnerholm and Maxime Chanot. Chanot was mildly injured in a national team game. Gray is also returned from his injury. With a full lineup and plenty of rest, we should be in for a good one.

NYCFC Predicted Lineup: Barraza; Jasson, Callens, Martins, Amundsen, Parks, Morales, Pereira, Moralez, Magno, Castellanos

Tornto Predicted Lineup: Bono; MacNaughton, Salcedo, O'Neill, Marshall-Rutty; Chung, Bradley, Priso, Petrasso; Pozuelo; Jimenez
