Major League Soccer: Toronto are 5 points short of Seattle Sounders, but are fully set to go full force. Let's go!
- Toronto have the most conceded goals (32) in Major League Soccer
- Seattle Sounders have won significantly less corners away then at home.
Seattle Sounders have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It's no vacation for neither Toronto nor Seattle Sounders as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Toronto form and stats
5 victories, 0 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Toronto, who have the most conceded goals (32) in Major League Soccer, have to build on here at BMO Field in the Major League Soccer.
The Toronto club members got no joy from their last match, also played here at BMO Field: A 1-2 defeat against Columbus Crew (placed 8th). Midfield player Pozuelo got a match rating of 8.22 in that game, the max score being 10. Pozuelo hit six key passes, dribled past the opponent 6 of 10 times and had 94 successful passes (of 103 total).
Before that, Toronto had a home game versus Atlanta United which ended with a victory 2-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Toronto perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Toronto as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Toronto has won 7 of these, drawn 3 and lost 5.
An interesting fact: 13 of the most recent 17 league matches from these players have seen goals scored by both teams.
A decent goal production from Toronto in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 9 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Toronto defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
