Major League Soccer: Tipsway are expecting an interesting and very important battle between Toronto and SJ Earthquakes at BMO Field. This duo need points like a fish needs water!
- Toronto have the most conceded goals (34) in Major League Soccer
- SJ Earthquakes have yet to win a game away.
These teams have little in common geographically as SJ Earthquakes have to travel 4200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Toronto and SJ Earthquakes should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Toronto form and stats
The story so far in the Major League Soccer for Toronto at their home stadium (BMO Field) is 5 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats. When Toronto hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Inter Miami, Chicago Fire, Toronto, DC United and Atlanta United), they have won 3 of 3 matches! Toronto are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at BMO Field, having lost their two previous games here.
The Toronto supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at BMO Field: A 0-2 defeat against Seattle Sounders. Midfield player Bradley got a match rating of 7.65 in that game, the max score being 10. Bradley hit two key passes and had 63 successful passes (of 72 total).
Preceding that match was a defeat to Columbus Crew (1-2).There will be little rest for Toronto after this match as they are travelling to Chicago Fire for a Major League Soccer game in only four days.
The Toronto fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. Toronto have conceded 17 from these games.
SJ Earthquakes form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for SJ Earthquakes so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-6 (win-draw-lose).
Earthquakes won their last game, 2-1 versus Chicago Fire played at home. That win felt good as this side had gone four league games without victory. A victory against Chicago Fire as mentioned above, but the margin of victory could have been bigger as SJ Earthquakes hit the posts three times. Kikanovic got a match rating of 8.43 in that game, top player of the team. Kikanovic scored two goals, hit the woodwork once and dribled past the opponent 5 of 6 times.
Prior to that match, the SJ Earthquakes manager Covelo faced defeat when travelling to Real Salt Lake and losing 0-2.The schedule is very tough for Earthquakes now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Major League Soccer game at LA Galaxy is waiting in only four days.
SJ Earthquakes have conceded 18 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
