Meanwhile, three of United's four wins this term have come at home, but they have also suffered four defeats. Toronto's poor away form might be one thing that could work in the hosts' favor as they look to return to winning ways.

Toronto have the worst defensive record in the Eastern Conference, conceding 23 goals in just 12 goals. They have conceded 11 goals in their last three outings against the Black and Red.
