In total they scored 49 and conceded {66 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 4 and lost 11 with 19/37 goals scored/conceded. Toronto have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Major League Soccer were 2 victories, 4 draws and 11 defeats from 17 fixtures.

Toronto lost away at DC United (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Philadelphia Union wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.
