Recent Team Forms
Toronto FC: Extended winless streak (multiple draws and losses, including 0-0 at New England on Jul 22, 1-2 at D.C. United, 1-1 at NYCFC). They have been more competitive defensively since the World Cup break but struggle to score consistently (~1.3 goals/game) and sit near the bottom. Home form has been mixed.
New England Revolution: Solid mid-table/upper-table form with recent mixed results: 0-2 home loss to Houston (Aug 8), 2-2 draw at Montréal (Aug 1), 4-1 home win over Atlanta (Jul 25), 0-0 draw vs. Toronto (Jul 22). Strong Eastern Conference record and better goal output (~1.6/game). Looking to bounce back on the road.
Series History
Second meeting of the 2026 season. They played to a 0-0 draw at Gillette Stadium on July 22. Historical matchups have been competitive, with both sides capable of low-scoring or tight affairs; New England has generally held an edge in recent years, but home advantage at BMO Field has mattered.
Key Player vs. Player Matchups
Carles Gil / Dor Turgeman / Griffin Yow (NE attack and creativity) vs. Toronto back line (Zimmerman, Laryea, Gavran): Gil’s vision and set-piece quality against a depleted Toronto defense. Turgeman’s finishing will be key.
Dániel Sallói / Djordje Mihailović / Theo Corbeanu (TOR attack) vs. New England defense (Beason, Fofana, Turner): Toronto needs secondary creators and finishers without Osorio. Sallói’s threat on the wing.
Midfield battle: Coello / Dorsch vs. Yusuf / Polster / Yueill — control of the center will dictate tempo.
Goalkeeper duel: Luka Gavran vs. Matt Turner (experienced international-level shot-stopper).
Expect New England to control possession and create more; Toronto to rely on organization, home support, and counters in a potentially tighter game.
Betting Trends
Recent H2H was a 0-0. New England has better form and quality; Toronto’s long winless run and injuries limit upside, though home field and low-scoring tendencies exist.
