Toronto perform at a high level so far being 1st in the table. New York RB can look both up and down from their 7th position.
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 Toronto and New York RB.
New York RB have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Toronto form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field as Toronto have scored 12 goals to get 17 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the Major League Soccer are 5-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena. Two home wins in a row for Toronto bring valid hopes of a third.
The Toronto goalkeeper Quentin Westberg is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 265 minutes without conceding a goal in the Major League Soccer.
Happy days for Toronto in their previous game, a Major League Soccer match away at Cincinnati (placed 13th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting New England.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Toronto as they have a new game in only four days, a Major League Soccer match thankfully also at home. Atlanta United are visiting.
