D.C. United has won three of their last 12 meetings with Toronto FC, while Toronto FC has only won two of those contests. In its six home matches against the Reds during that time, DC is undefeated, winning twice and drawing four times.
Last season, D.C. United only won one of its final 13 games (D3 L9), losing all but four of them. In 2022, United lost nine of those matches without a goal and were shut out in 16 of 34, just one shy of the league record of 17 games without a goal in a single season.
Toronto FC lost five games in a row in 2022, giving up four goals in four of those five games. Since the start of the 2021 season, the Reds have lost 36 times, tying D. C. United for most losses in MLS.
Pedro Santos, a new D.C. United signing, was one of four players in the league to score at least five assists in each of the last five MLS regular seasons. Despite being traded to Vancouver in July, Julian Gressel (7) led D.C. United in assists last season.
The fewest in the league, Toronto FC has kept just five clean sheets in the last two MLS seasons. Season Johnson, a new signing, kept 22 clean sheets for New York City FC during the 2021 and 2022 regular seasons, second most in MLS behind Andre Blake’s 27.
