East Coast bottom-ranked rivals International Maia Mi and FC Toronto are about to engage in a heated battle, but the two teams' recent performances have been worlds apart.
Internacional Mayami suffered a 2-5 defeat away at the feet of Atlanta United in their last league match, and despite being absent due to fatigue, Misi is expected to be back for this match. The loss was their first since the Argentinean king joined the club, and it emphasized the key role of Misi in the team, and only if he is in good form can the team advance to the playoffs.
Atlanta United had an easy time breaking down the International Myamy defense in the match, creating numerous threats especially on the wings. However, Ukrainian international Kivsov is expected to make a comeback in this match, which will hopefully boost the performance of the backline.
In this defeat, it is worth mentioning the outstanding performance of striker Lee Annandale Gambina, who scored two goals on his own, and has contributed five goals in his last three matches. He's in hot form and deserves to continue in the starting lineup, perhaps partnering with Mez to attack the opposing team's defense.
FC Toronto have been a disaster this season despite having stars like Ensign and Benedicte. There is tension between the players and leader Bartlett, and despite Bartlett's departure in June, the situation is irreparable.
Young Canadian striker Dean Dykal has been in fine form recently, scoring in two consecutive matches, while Ensign and Benedicte also have the ability to create threats on the wing.
