Toronto FC vs DC United Preview and Team News

Toronto FC Team News

Sitting second from the bottom of the Eastern Conference table means that Toronto have had a difficult opening 11 matches in the MLS this season. In this run, they have 1 win, 4 draws, and 6 defeats.

Toronto have managed a below-par 8 goals in 11 outings while conceding 16 in the process. A leaking defense and an underwhelming attack have been the core hallmarks of Toronto’s 2025 MLS season so far.

The focus for Toronto when they host DC United will be tightening their defensive phase as they bid to dig themselves out from a poor opening half of the MLS season. 

However, they will have to deal with nine injury absentees. The sidelined players include Markus Cimermancic, Derrick Etienne, Deandre Kerr, Richie Laryea, Zane Monlouis, Jonathan Osorio, Henry Wingo, Federico Bernardeschi, and Luka Gavran.

Toronto FC predicted lineup vs DC United (4-1-4-1): Johnson; Thompson, Long, Stefanovic, Petretta; Flores; Edwards, Longstaff, Coello, Corbeanu; Brynhildsen.

DC United Team News

DC United have not had the best season so far; they have 3 wins, 3 draws, and 5 defeats in their 11 rounds of fixtures in the MLS so far this season. Their attack has been relatively productive with 13 goals scored in 11 matches. However, their defensive line has been poor; they have conceded a staggering 23 goals in 11 games.

United sit 12th on the Eastern Conference table, just 5 points above Toronto. With the two sides struggling so far, this will be a fine-margins clash, with the Black-and-Red Eagles looking to edge it and bolster their chances of climbing the table.

On the team news front, DC United will miss up to eight players. The potentially sidelined players include Kristian Fletcher, João Peglow, Kye Rowles, Dominique Badji, Lucas Bartlett, Christian Benteke, Jackson Hopkins, and Gabriel Pirani.

DC United predicted lineup vs Toronto FC (3-4-3): Barraza; Antley, MacNaughton, Peltola; Herrera, Servania, Enow, Schnegg; Stroud, Murrell, Kijima.

Toronto FC vs DC United Prediction 

  • Pick: DC United
  • Odds: +189 (20Bet)
  • Score prediction: Toronto FC 0-1 D.C. United

DC United have an edge in this match over Toronto due to a stronger attack. United have scored 13 goals in 11 matches compared to Toronto’s 8 goals over the same run. DC United will miss Christian Benteke, who previously played for Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Crystal Palace, and usually leads the line for them. However, Jacob Murrell will provide a good replacement as they look to get the three points away from home.

Toronto have also shown defensive vulnerabilities that will benefit DC United; the home side have conceded 16 times in 11 matches. Multiple defensive absences, such as Richie Laryea, Deandre Kerr, Henry Wingo, and Zane Monlouis, mean that they are likely to struggle defensively.

My take here is that DC United will have a slight edge in attack and defense over Toronto, and are likely to grab a narrow win on Saturday.

Toronto FC vs D.C. United Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: DC United Win To Nil
  • Odds: +420 (20Bet)

Toronto are struggling in attack with an average of 0,72 goals per game, which is the second-worst attacking record in the Eastern Conference. Their offensive struggles indicate that they are likely to struggle to break down DC United’s defense. 

The tactical setup for the two sides will likely favor a “to nil” scoreline. DC United’s 3-4-3 formation allows defensive stability, while Toronto’s 4-1-4-1 setup leaves their lone striker isolated. Toronto may struggle to build sustained attacking pressure, leading to a clean sheet for DC United.
