Despite several key players from both squads, being call up for international play on their national team’s duty, at the end this will be one series to follow up closely.

Both Toronto FC and New York squads will be looking forward to make a serious stand if they would like to advance to their first ever conference finals, as both squads despite the Canadians having some time in league play they have not been in these stages.

The date is on Sunday 30th and with Toronto, hosting the first game at home at BMO field and the home field advantage can suit the Reds with win that they can take back to the Bronx and maybe play the role of spoilers.

At the end my favourite to win this series and to be the finalist for the Eastern Conference, I still lean towards the NYCFC and its initial eleven that can cause havoc, very well I see the Big Apple Boys winning the MLS Cup. So it is Advantage NYCFC.
