Toronto form and stats

There's been little loot from Toronto's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 14 away games in the Major League Soccer. Toronto only have 2 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 1 draw. Bitter travels for Toronto as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Chicago Fire match.

N. Okello, J. Osorio, I. Achara and Y. Soteldo scored in Toronto's previous match, the home game against York9 that ended 4-0. As mentioned above, Toronto was the only team on the pitch versus York9 in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Nashville SC in the Major League Soccer.

A new game in only four days for Toronto, the Major League Soccer home match versus Cincinnati. Busy days.

The visiting Toronto have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 14 goals from 14 games. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Toronto concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.

Head 2 Head
