Toronto FC has lost only three of its 12 true home matches against expansion sides (W7 D2, excluding games in East Hartford, CT). The Reds have scored multiple goals in each of their last six true home matches against expansion sides (18 total goals, 3.0 per match).
Toronto FC has taken just one point from its last five MLS matches (D1 L4) following a 1-0 defeat to CF Montréal on Saturday. The shutout loss marked the seventh time the Reds have failed to score in their last 12 MLS matches after having found the net in 13 consecutive games prior to this run.
Charlotte FC lost to Miami, 3-2, on Saturday after holding a 2-0 lead. The defeat was the eighth time Charlotte has conceded multiple goals in 11 road games in MLS, something they’ve done only once in 10 games at home.
The 1-0 defeat on Saturday was the 29th straight MLS match in which Toronto has allowed a goal, equaling the third-longest regular season run in league history (Tampa Bay 2000-01). If Toronto allows a goal on Saturday, it will equal the second-longest such streak in MLS history (Chivas USA – 30 straight in 2012-13).
Charlotte got off to the best possible start on Saturday when Yordy Reyna scored after just 26 seconds. The goal tied the second-fastest goal scored from kickoff in MLS since the start of the 2017 season, with only Cristian Arango (0:20 for LAFC vs. RSL in 2021) doing so faster.
