TFC aims to start new home streak vs. RSL
Soccer Betting Lines
08/27/2010 -
Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Real Salt Lake travels to take on Toronto FC in
Major League Soccer action at BMO Field on Saturday night.
RSL, which has just one league loss in its last 16, will be facing a Toronto
side that is coming off its first home loss of the season last weekend to New
York. The loss snapped a 17-game home unbeaten run for TFC, the fourth-longest
in MLS history.
"I don't think we started particularly well, the first five, six minutes we
were kind of lethargic," Toronto coach Preki said after the 4-1 home loss to
New York. "We could have easily been down in that first five or six minutes.
But then we found the life and we had quite a few opportunities.
"We win together, we lose together, and [vs. New York] we lost together. We
have to pick ourselves up."
Toronto (7-8-5) is also coming off a 2-1 loss at Panamanian side Arabe Unido
in CONCACAF Champions League at mid-week.
RSL (11-4-6) hasn't played a league fixture since a 2-0 win over Columbus on
Aug. 20, but it has played a pair of Champions League fixtures since that
time.
The first was a 2-1 win over Arabe Unido on Aug. 18, before falling at Cruz
Azul, 5-4, on Wednesday. Despite the most recent loss, the defending MLS Cup
champions were optimistic about the result.
"I think we have to take a lot of positive things away from this match," RSL
coach Jason Kreis said after the loss in Mexico. "We came down here and did
what we set out to do, which was not to sit back and defend the entire match.
We came out here and tried to put our best foot forward and go on the attack,
and if you can put up four goals on Cruz Azul at their place you have to say
you've done that."
Despite playing at midweek, RSL is relatively healthy, while Toronto will be
without defender Emmanuel Gomez and midfielder Amadou Sanyang, while forward
Maicon Santos is probable, all with injuries.
