The 2015 Major League Soccer regular season moves on with a match between Toronto FC and Sporting Kansas City at the BMO Field in Toronto, Canada on August 8.
Reds head coach Greg Vanney hopes to stop Sporting KC's five-game unbeaten run against his team that began way back in 2013 as they host Kansas manager Peter Vermes and his crew on Saturday, as reported by the MLS official website.

The previous two games of Toronto have not been promising either as they settled for a 3-3 tie against Columbus on July 26 while they lost to the New England Revolution just this Sunday at the Gilette Stadium in Foxborough.
Canadian midfielder Jonathan Osorio scored the lone goal for the Reds as they were overwhelmed by a Charlie Davies double and a penalty kick from Lee Nguyen, as per ESPN.
Meanwhile, current Western Conference fourth placers Sporting settled for a 1-1 draw against the Houston Dynamo in their most recent game at home, via SkySports.
SKC could not capitalize even with the Dynamo playing one man down beginning the 86th minute, failing to add to their score thus finishing the game tied.
Sporting has the upper hand in this game psychologically as they had won their two previous visits at the BMO Field, including a close 2-1 escape last season.
The predicted result is a tough 2-1 win by Toronto. An undefeated streak is always meant to be broken and this time would be it for Kansas City.
Toronto FC starting lineup (4-1-2-1-2 formation): Bendik; Morrow, Kantari, Perquis, Jackson; Cheyrou; Osorio, Findley; Delgado; Altidore, Giovinco
Sporting Kansas City starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Melia; Dia, Besler, Ellis, Myers; Espinoza, Mustivar, Feilhaber; Németh, Dwyer, Zusi
