Toronto will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 7 points behind DC United.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

DC United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The Toronto crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Philadelphia Union here at BMO Field in a Major League Soccer match. Prior to that, an away loss at Atlanta United.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match.
