Phili need a positive result from this game, if they are to move their season forward. Their last match resulted in a loss to Montréal, before that they drew away to LA Galaxy, 2-2.

Also, Phili have a huge task to over-turn their opponents in this game, having already lost one game this season. With 34 points (0W, 0L and 0D), they are established in tenth position in the League.

It must be a worrying prospect for Phili to go back on the road, with a bud run of away performances under their belt this season. So far they have only secured two wins, four darts, and eight defeats to the home team.

Victory for Toronto FC would take their points tally to 37 so far this season.
