📏 Form Guide

Toronto FC
Toronto FC
LLLLLD

Toronto FC head into this match following a 1-1 MLS drawn result versus Atlanta United.

In that match, Toronto FC managed 33% possession and 4 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Toronto FC was Federico Bernardeschi (52'). For their opponents, Atlanta United got 16 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Matheus Rossetto (60') was the scorer for Atlanta United.

It has been all too rare in recent games where Toronto FC have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Toronto FC have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 17 goals along the way.

Columbus Crew
Columbus Crew
DWDLLW

Columbus Crew will go into the match following a 2-0 MLS win with the defeat of D.C. United in their most recent match.

In that match, Columbus Crew had 47% possession and 12 shots on goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Columbus Crew was Lucas Zelarayán (10', 44'). At the other end, D.C. United got 15 shots on goal with 3 on target.

Columbus Crew have had no problems opening up opposition defences of late, scoring 9 goals in their last 6 matches. Having said that, Columbus Crew have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 5 of those same clashes. That trend might not be carried forward here, of course.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Checking out their prior head to head duels stretching back to 06/10/2019, there has been little to separate the clubs with Toronto FC winning 3 of those games, Columbus Crew 3 and 0 being drawn in normal time.

In all, 16 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 9 of them for The Reds and 7 netted by The Crew. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.67.

The last league fixture between the two was MLS match day 23 on 29/06/2022 and the score finished Toronto FC 1-2 Columbus Crew.

That day, Toronto FC had 64% possession and 19 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. The scorer was Jesús Jiménez (54').

On the other side, Columbus Crew had 10 shots at goal with 3 on target. Sean Zawadzki (18') and Darlington Nagbe (30') scored.

The referee was Armando Villareal.

🗞️ Team News: Toronto FC

Themi Antonoglou (Unknown Injury) and Lorenzo Insigne (Calf Injury) will not be taking part for Toronto FC boss Bob Bradley.

We are thinking that The Reds will probably use a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, handing starts to Sean Johnson, Richie Laryea, Matt Hedges, Sigurd Rosted, Raoul Petretta, Michael Bradley, Mark-Anthony Kaye, Brandon Servania, F. Bernardeschi, Jonathan Osorio and Deandre Kerr.

📰 Team News: Columbus Crew

Thanks to a largely available group, there’s only a single fitness worry for the Columbus Crew manager Wilfried Nancy to contend with. Christian Ramirez (Foot Injury) misses out for this game.

We believe The Crew might elect for a 3-4-3 lineup, choosing Eloy Room, Steven Moreira, Milos Degenek, Philip Quinton, Mohamed Farsi, Darlington Nagbe, Aidan Morris, Yaw Yeboah, Alexandru Matan, Juan Hernandez and Lucas Zelarayan.

💡 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Columbus Crew have it in them to get a goal against this Toronto FC side, however that probably shouldn’t be enough to prevent defeat.

We think that it’s going to be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Toronto FC at the end of the match. There looks to be little in this one.

Our expert partners are tipping under 3.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
