Toronto and New York Battle for Playoff Positioning
A crucial Eastern Conference clash sees Toronto FC looking to close the three-point gap on New York City FC as both sides hunt for a late-season surge.
Toronto FC enter this fixture 10th in the standings on 24 points, currently 12 points adrift of the European qualification places with 25 games remaining. Despite a difficult run of five games without a win (D3 L2), including a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture against NYCFC, the Reds have shown resilience at BMO Field where they have secured three victories in their last 11 outings.
New York City FC sit 7th on 27 points, nine points off the European places. While they recently secured back-to-back wins against Chicago Fire and Columbus Crew, Pascal Jansen’s men have struggled for consistency lately, taking just two points from their last 12 available in league play following a recent 1-1 draw with New England Revolution.
