Toronto FC has won each of its last two visits to Foxborough, including a 3-2 victory in July 2021. The Reds had managed just two victories in their first 17 league visits to New England (D5 L10).
New England is winless in five straight matches (D3 L2) following a scoreless draw in Columbus on Saturday. The Revs haven’t had a longer run without a win under Bruce Arena, last going six or more consecutive games without a victory in July-September 2018 (9 straight, D3 L6).
Toronto FC scored four times before halftime for the first time in club history in its 4-0 win over Charlotte on Saturday. The Reds also ended a 29-match run without a clean sheet, tied for the third longest such run in regular season play in MLS history.
New England’s scoreless draw with Columbus on Saturday was just the fourth time the Revs have failed to score in their last 33 MLS matches dating back to last September. The Revs haven’t been shut out in consecutive MLS matches since October 2020, with the second of those coming against Toronto.
Federico Bernardeschi recorded a goal and an assist in the opening 31 minutes of his MLS debut on Saturday, becoming the second player in league history to record a goal and an assist before halftime of his MLS debut after Fredy Montero in Seattle’s inaugural match in 2009.
