The managers G. Vanney and J. Curtin are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Major League Soccer league table.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Toronto form and stats

Toronto have played 5 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

Toronto lost their last game at Atlanta United after a 0-2 scoreline. Before that match, a win away at Orlando City.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Toronto have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won 2 times, drawn 0 and lost 0.

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

Toronto are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at BMO Field, having scored an impressive 14 goals in 5 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
