Toronto manager praises star forward before massive match

Toronto coach Robin Fraser praises Daniel Salloi as his team fights for a postseason berth.

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 22 October 2026

Toronto FC head coach Robin Fraser has praised forward Daniel Salloi for his massive impact this season. The team sits tenth in the Eastern Conference, level on points with the New York Red Bulls in the final postseason spot. Toronto secured a crucial two to zero victory over the Red Bulls recently. Salloi scored the second goal to seal the win and keep playoff hopes alive.

Salloi leads the attack

Salloi has eight goals and seven assists in his first season with Toronto. Fraser noted that the forward carried the team through an early season injury crisis by scoring vital goals. That stellar form makes him a key player for punters to watch in the goalscorer markets as the regular season ends. His direct goal involvement leads the entire squad.

Crew face crucial test

Columbus Crew enter this fixture after a two to zero away win against FC Cincinnati. Gonzalo Tapia starred in that victory with a goal and an assist. However, Columbus suffered a painful penalty shootout loss in the US Open Cup final against St Louis City. Despite that cup heartbreak, their strong league form keeps them high in the betting markets.

Betting odds and market impact

Opta win probability makes Columbus clear favorites at fifty four point two percent. The draw sits at twenty three point five percent, while Toronto is priced at twenty two point three percent as away underdogs. Columbus won four of their last five league matches to shorten their price significantly. Toronto remains unbeaten in three matches, which could attract support from bettors looking at the away side.
