Toronto vs St. Louis City Prediction
Toronto have struggled in the MLS this season and have just one win since April. They has been impacted by a spate of injuries, while key Canadian players are on international duty.
St. Louis have done well in the absence of Joao Klauss and Eduard Lowen, who were crucial in their first few games of the season and have had consecutive wins after going winless in four.
They do not have any major absentees apart from Klauss and Lowen and should win comfortably against a weakened Toronto side, who have lost their last four games.
Prediction: Toronto 0-1 St. Louis
