Portland Fire vs. Toronto Tempo Prediction
I’m on the Tempo here. I just think that while both teams have injuries, the sum of Toronto’s parts have been a lot more consistent than Portland’s and I have just been left more impressed with Toronto up to this point. I’m not rushing to bet this one because the number feels pretty close to bang on, but I’d lay it with the Tempo if forced to pick.
