at Betway, the Revolution are favourites, at -106, with TFC at +240, and the draw priced at +260.<\/strong><\/p>\nThat line suggests that the Revolution is the better team, but not a particularly strong or trustworthy favourite. That\u2019s a cautious line. There\u2019s understandable doubt after such a long layoff, uncertainty around fitness, rhythm, lineups and whether pre-World Cup form is still relevant.<\/p>\n
That makes taking the Revolution less expensive, which is why it should be your play for tonight. They are the safer side, at home, and were by far the better team before the break.<\/p>\n
Toronto has enough attacking talent to score, so go Both Teams to Score (Yes, -154), but TFC is poor defensively, which is why you don\u2019t trust them on the Moneyline side.<\/p>\n
Carles Gil at plus money to score (+125 at Betway) is another good play, since he\u2019s the Revolution\u2019s most dangerous attacking player.<\/p>\n
Toronto sits near the bottom of the East, winless in their last nine MLS games, with a defence that gave up 10 goals in their previous five matches.<\/p>\n
TFC is still missing Lazar Stefanovic and Matheus Pereira, still out with injuries, while New England is without Leonardo Campana.<\/p>\n
Over 2.5 Total Goals (-150) is also a logical spot to put some money.<\/p>\n
Call it a rebuilding phase for TFC, four points below the playoff line, and a negative goal difference. Over the World Cup break, they reacquired defensive midfielder Nelson Palacio from Real Salt Lake. Although he won\u2019t be available immediately, with fitness work, TFC hopes he can help plug that leaky defence when he gets back.<\/p>\n
In their first game back, a 0-0 draw against CF Montreal, TFC did not even register a shot on target, while Montreal had just three. Forward Josh Sargent, making $22 million, only had two touches. That\u2019s just not sustainable. Toronto needs to find players who can get him the ball to finish.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis commitment to the team is so evident when you see him lose the ball 90 yards from the goal and he\u2019s the one making the tackle at the top of our box,\u201d said head coach Robin Fraser, per Waking the Red<\/i>. \u201cIt just speaks volumes to his commitment to the project and to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Looking forward, through the end of the season in November, bettors should focus on TFC injury updates and how Palacio fits in, especially its impact on defensive metrics.<\/p>\n
Tonight, watch how Sargent melds with fellow designated player Djordje Mihailovic, who\u2019s also been out since April with a pelvic injury. The two of them had only played a few minutes together before Mihailovic\u2019s injury. Will that boost the offence?<\/p>\n
Not enough to impact tonight\u2019s outcome.<\/p>\n"}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119650"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119650\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":119651,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119650\/revisions\/119651"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
