Toronto FC vs New York City FC Preview and Team News
Toronto FC Team News
Sitting second from the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings after nine rounds of fixtures in the new MLS season shows that Toronto FC have had a bad start to the season.
After 1 win, 4 draws, and 4 defeats, Toronto have collected 7 points, four ahead of bottom-placed Montréal FC. Their record also includes 8 goals scored in 9 matches, and 13 goals conceded in this run.

My analysis of Toronto this season reveals a weak defensive showing allied with a biting lack of cutting edge in the final third. This combination explains why Robin Fraser’s men have struggled to win matches so far this season.
Robin Fraser also has a lengthy injury list to point to this season, with his side missing up to six players ahead of their home clash against New York City. The absentees include Richie Laryea, Deandre Kerr, Henry Wingo, Zane Monlouis, Ola Brynhildsen, and Nicksoen Gomis.
Toronto won their first match of the MLS season last time out, in a 0-1 triumph against ten-man Real Salt Lake. They will hope to build on this win and the ensuing momentum when they welcome New York City FC.
Toronto FC predicted lineup vs New York City FC (4-2-3-1): Johnson; Petretta, Rosted, Long, Thompson; Osorio, Flores; Corbeanu, Insigne, Bernadeschi; Etienne.
New York City FC Team News
New York City FC have been average so far this season. In the opening 9 rounds of fixtures, they have 3 wins, 2 draws, and 4 defeats. Their attack and defense have been evenly balanced, but have failed to push them into the top half.
They have scored 11 times while conceding 13 times in the opening 9 matches. This has resulted in 11 points and 10th place on the Eastern Conference table.

In their last five outings, New York City have 1 win, 3 losses, and 1 draw. The losses came against Atlanta United (4-3), Minnesota (1-2), and New England (2-0). My analysis based on these results points to New York City running close in most of these matches but lacking enough quality to edge them.
The New York City gaffer, Dutchman Pascal Jansen, will look to return to winning ways without the injured Malachi Jones and Jacob Arroyave.
New York City FC predicted lineup vs Toronto FC (4-1-4-1): Freese; O’Toole, Haak, Martins, Ilenič; Shore; Ojeda, Moralez, Wolf, Bakrar; Martinez.
Toronto FC vs New York City FC Prediction
- Pick: New York City FC
- Odds: +164 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Toronto FC 0-1 New York City FC
My prediction in this match backs a narrow win for the away side. New York City have a slightly better form in the new season. They have three wins under their belt and have shown significant quality in attack and defensively to stand a chance against Toronto.
Toronto will be a tough prospect at the BMO Field, where they have enjoyed slightly better performances this season. However, the dynamics back the away side to come out of the contest with the three points and hand Toronto their fifth defeat in 10 matches in the MLS this season.
Toronto FC vs New York City FC Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: First half/Second half: Draw/New York City FC
- Odds: +620 (20Bet)
A head-to-head comparison shows that these sides adopt a similar pragmatic approach to matches. The two sides are reactive in their tactical approaches, playing with a low block and attacking on the counter in most of their matches.
This means that they will cancel each other out for large swathes of their clash on Saturday. The likelihood is that the first half will be level before New York City FC edges the second half and the match overall.
