We said: Toronto 1-1 New York City FC
The Reds have been fairly tidy defensively at BMO Field, conceding a goal or fewer in all but one of their regular season home fixtures, and we believe they will be able to limit the Pigeons' opportunities this weekend.
NYCFC are a different side away from home, though they usually can hang around in those contests, which is why we project they will be able to nab a point.
