New York City and Toronto get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Leagues Cup Group Stage fixture.

These are hectic days for the hometeam, as they were in action only three days ago in the Leagues Cup. This match was also played here at Red Bull Arena, Harrison. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Toronto have had more rest.

New York City form and stats

The complete Major League Soccer statistics at home this season for New York City are 4-4-2 (wins-draws-losses).

York's previous match was also a home event, the defeat 0-1 versus Atlas (in Leagues Cup).

Heartbreak before that as New York City lost 1-2 at Philadelphia Union's place.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from New York City's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 8 games, won 4 matches, drawn 3 and lost 1.

The York fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. New York City have conceded 13 in these home matches.

Toronto form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Toronto so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-8 (win-draw-lose).

Kerr was the last player to score for the away team. Toronto haven't scored a league goal in the last 439 minutes.

There might be some fixture complaints from Toronto as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-1 against Chicago Fire.

A 0-1 loss hosting Saint Louis City before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Toronto playing away, we found 9 games. Results were 1 away win, 4 draws and 4 home wins.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Leagues Cup trip to Atlas.

The attacking power of Toronto when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 12 league matches away. As for defending, Toronto rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 22 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

New York City-Toronto H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: New York City three wins, Toronto five wins, two draws. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
