Sports bettors believe New England will beat Toronto at Gillette Stadium

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for England and Toronto.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Toronto have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-2-4 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.

It's quite the trip for Toronto when visiting England as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

New England form and stats

5-0-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Major League Soccer numbers at home for New England, who have the most scored goals (20) in Major League Soccer, so far this season.

England manager B. Arena and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Columbus Crew (placed 9th) in the Major League Soccer. Gustavo Bou, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.44 (out of 10). Bou scored one goal. Opportunity lost for England in the Columbus Crew match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Dallas.

The England manager B. Arena has got the team scoring with 10 from 5 home games in the league. From these home matches, New England have conceded only 4 goals.

Toronto form and stats

Toronto have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Major League Soccer, after 0-1-6 (7 played). Bitter travels for Toronto as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the New York City match.

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, the Major League Soccer match against DC United (1-7). Ayo Akinola, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 6.62. Akinola scored one goal and had 18 successful passes (of 22 total). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against DC United was particularly ugly (1-7). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A loss against Cincinnati was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Toronto have scored 7 goals in 7 league games away. 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

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three England victories, two draws and five Toronto wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
