The teams last met on July 10th in Hamilton, where Forge FC secured a 2-1 victory in a challenging game for Toronto FC, who were not in the best form at the time.

The two teams come into the match in different forms. Forge FC has secured three wins, one loss, and one draw in their last five matches, placing them in a strong position in the Canadian Premier League and aiming to secure the top spot, and potentially the championship title.

On the other hand, Toronto FC has won four of their last five matches, with their only loss coming against Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup, where they were eliminated.
