The MLS Week 22 fixture between Toronto FC and Atlanta United kicks off on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at BMO Field in Toronto, Ontario. Scheduled for 7:30 PM ET / 12:30 AM UK, this matchup features two struggling Eastern Conference sides desperate to climb out of the bottom tier.

Team Form & Standings
Toronto FC
Position: 14th in Eastern Conference (13 points)
Record: 4W–11L–5D
Last 5 Matches: L–W–D–L–L
Home Form: Unbeaten in last 2 at BMO Field
Toronto enters this match after a 3–1 loss to NYCFC, but they’ve shown flashes of promise at home, including a 3–0 win over Portland. With Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi now off the roster, the Reds are looking to reset their identity under head coach Robin Fraser.
Atlanta United FC
Position: 13th in Eastern Conference (14 points)

Last 5 Matches: D–L–L–L–W
Away Form: 0W–6L–3D in 2025
Atlanta has yet to win on the road this season and has conceded 22 of their 37 goals away from home. Their recent 0–0 draw with DC United snapped a three-game losing streak, but defensive frailty remains a major concern.

Tactical Matchup & Betting Trends
