- New York City have the the best goal difference (+14) in Major League Soccer
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.
Toronto form and stats
With 1 Major League Soccer win, 4 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Toronto are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home fans are hungry for more even though Toronto have been steadily collecting points here at BMO Field through three straight draws.
In their previous game, the manager C. Armas led his Toronto to a defeat in the Major League Soccer match away at Philadelphia Union. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at BMO Field. Midfield player Michael Bradley got a match rating of 7.13 in that game, the max score being 10. Bradley hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 59 successful passes (of 69 total). Toronto lost the game against Philadelphia Union in the first half with a 0-3 deficit and could never come back from that. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Yeferson Soteldo for missing a penalty kick versus Philadelphia Union in the 53rd minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Nashville SC.Toronto has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
New York City form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the the best goal difference (+14) in Major League Soccer, on their Major League Soccer travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
York has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Chicago Fire for a Major League Soccer game that ended a draw (0-0). Anton Tinnerholm, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.95. Tinnerholm hit three key passes and won 10 of 15 duels.
That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Columbus Crew.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far York have scored 8 goals in 7 league games away. York have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
