D.C. United
- D.C. United have a lot of work to do in 2026 with the Eastern Conference side sitting 19th in the MLS 2026 table after 15 games with only 18 points to their name.
- René Weiler has set D.C. United up in compact blocks in transition that look to stay narrow and break fast when the high press bites.
- Their most recent three games have seen them beaten 1-3 at home by Chicago Fire FC, draw 1-1 at home with St. Louis City and draw 4-4 at home with CF Montreal, so it's difficult to see them running away with this one.
Toronto FC
- Toronto FC are 25th with 15 points from their first 15 matches, so the Canadian side really are the underdogs in this fixture.
- Toronto FC are in worse form with no wins, one draw and four defeats from their last five games, but Robin Fraser's men are likely to press up and play a high-intensity game.
Head-to-Head
D.C. United are winless in their last two home games against Toronto , who will see some cause for optimism.
Key Players
- Tai Baribo is D.C. United's danger man with eight goals in 12 MLS 2026 matches, but Toronto are no strangers to a goal themselves.
- Tai Baribo is D.C. United's dangerman with eight MLS 2026 goals to his name and Louis Munteanu has chipped in with four in their last five, so he looks the value pick in the anytime goalscorer market.
- Toronto have seen Daniel Salloi lead the way with four in 15 while Emilio Aristizabal has given them some bite in the final third recently with two in five, so he is the selection for an away goal.
