On July 13th, we have the 26th matchaday of the MLS, where teams continue striving to secure playoff spots by winning every match.
Toronto FC will host the Philadelphia Union at BMO Field, a team they have already faced this season on May 29th, which ended in a lackluster 0-0 draw.
A Tough Streak for Both Teams in the MLS
Both teams are going through a rough patch, and this match could break a negative streak for both. Philadelphia Union has gone nine matches without a win, with their last victory dating back to May 18th.
Similarly, Toronto FC’s last win was also on May 18th, and they have since gone ten matches without a victory, accumulating eight losses and two draws. Toronto FC is currently enduring a seven-game losing streak in the MLS, marking one of their worst runs in recent years.
The upcoming match promises to be closely contested. Over the past five years, these teams have faced each other 29 times, with Toronto FC winning 11 matches, Philadelphia Union winning 10, and eight matches ending in a draw.
An Exciting Preview for This Match
This promises to be an exciting duel, as both teams are desperate to turn their fortunes around and compete for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, where securing a place is becoming increasingly difficult due to their recent poor form.
