Josef Martinez (left) | USA Today Sports Images


After a slow start to 2019, Josef Martinez has come to life with three goals over his last three games. The 2018 Golden Boot winner faces a TFC defense that's conceded multiple goals in four of their last five games before rounding the week out against an Orlando City side that heā€™s fared well against historically, scoring in all four games vs. the Lions with six goals and one assist over that span.
