Toronto form and stats

Toronto's struggle is real here at BMO Field with only 8 points collected from 10 Major League Soccer games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-5-4. With eight home Major League Soccer games in a row without a win, the Toronto fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Columbus Crew game long ago, can be stopped today.

I. Achara was the last player to score a league goal for Toronto and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Toronto haven't scored in 212 minutes.

The Toronto crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Inter Miami here at BMO Field in a Major League Soccer match. Midfield player Marky Delgado got a match rating of 7.35 in that game, the max score being 10. Delgado hit two key passes and had 44 successful passes (of 53 total). Heartbreak for Toronto in their last match as Inter Miami's C. Makoun scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Cincinnati.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as York9 are coming to town in four days.

Toronto are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 10 games. Toronto have conceded 15 from these games.

Hany Mukhtar got a match rating of 8.03 in that game, top player of the team. Mukhtar served one assist, hit two key passes and had 46 successful passes (of 53 total).

A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs New York City.

Nashville have another match that requires travelling in just four sleeps, a Major League Soccer fixture against Inter Miami. A grim programme for them!
