DC United vs Toronto FC

, KO: 22:30 Jul 3, 2021, Audi Field
Toronto FC

Toronto FC will attempt to snap a lengthy winless run as they travel to Audi Field for an MLS clash against DC United. Hosts DC are also looking to bounce back from a defeat last time out and given their form at home, should have the upper hand.

DC United suffered a 2-1 defeat at New York City in their previous MLS fixture. They took the lead early in the first half and looked on course to claim the win before a late blitz from the hosts saw them concede twice in the final six minutes.

The result ended a run of three matches unbeaten for the Black and Red, who will be targeting a swift return to winning ways. They currently sit just outside the playoff places in the East, level on 13 points with seventh place New York Red Bulls.

Manager Hernan Losada’s DC United head into Saturday’s clash with three wins from their last five matches at Audi Field. They have also looked solid at the back lately with three clean sheets from their last four matches.

Toronto FC travel to Audi Field off the back of a 2-0 defeat at home against Cincinnati last time out in the MLS. They barely threatened the Cincinnati backline despite playing at home and finished with just a single attempt on target.

The Reds are having a disappointing campaign and have claimed just one win from their 10 matches this season. One of their major problems has been poor defending having conceded nine goals in their last four MLS matches.

Chris Armas’ men are currently on a five-match losing streak and sit second from bottom in the Eastern Conference. They are also poor travellers and are winless in their last eight MLS matches, stretching back to last season.
