Toronto form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Toronto, who have the most conceded goals (18) in Major League Soccer, have to build on here at Exploria Stadium in the Major League Soccer. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Toronto with their four defeats in a row. Not since the New York City game, 42 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
The fans are hoping that Toronto will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Major League Soccer game against Nashville SC (placed 5th). Jonathan Osorio (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.4/10. Osorio scored one goal and hit two key passes. Quentin Westberg had a busy but productive day in the Nashville SC match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented. Heartbreak for Toronto in their last match as Nashville SC's L. Haakenson scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Orlando City (2-3).With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), Toronto's attacking play is working. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
Cincinnati form and stats
The visitors are W2-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Major League Soccer. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Cincinnati are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
