Toronto host Cincinnati at the BMO Field on Wednesday for a clash in the MLS, looking to build on their last victory.
After consecutive losses to New York City and New England Revolution, the Reds overcame DC United 2-0 in their last top-flight outing.
Lorenzo Insigne broke the deadlock in the 49th minute before Lucas Bartlett's own goal doubled their advantage.
It was only their second victory of the league season from 12 games. They now languish in 13th position in the Eastern Conference table, with only Atlanta United and Montreal faring worse.
