Toronto v Philadelphia

• Philadelphia sit top of the Eastern Conference, collecting 30 points across their 15 games so far

• Toronto have only won one of their eight games at home this season, managing to score just four goals across three games

• Tai Baribo is a player to keep an eye on for Philadelphia, he’s registered 14 goal contributions across his 15 appearances in all competitions this season and has scored in each of his last four matches

Philadelphia have been the most impressive side in the Eastern Conference so far, collecting 30 points from their 15 games to sit top of the Eastern Conference, but this lead is slender, with Cincinnati sitting just one point behind. Philadelphia have won four of their six away games this term. 

Toronto are at the opposite end of the Conference League with only Montreal (8) picking up fewer points than Robin Fraser’s side (13) after 15 games. Only one of Toronto’s three wins this season has come at home.  

⭐ Toronto v Philadelphia Predictions and Best Bets

A Philadelphia win looks likely here and they are generously priced to come away with all three points at 2.30. Toronto have lost five of their eight home games this season, scoring just four goals across these matches.

Philadelphia are unbeaten across their last five matches across all competitions, winning three of these. Their key man so far this season has been Tai Baribo who has already racked up 14 goal contributions across his 15 appearances in all competitions - he’s scored in each of his last four games and could be on target again here.

🔴 Toronto’s Home Troubles Deepen

Toronto have won two of their last five matches across all competitions, but these have been against DC United (13th) and Montreal (15th). With Toronto sitting 14th in the Eastern Conference, these wins are not comparable to the level of performance they’ll need to overturn the league leaders here.

They’ve only scored four goals across their eight home games, which is the joint lowest record in the Eastern Conference, alongside New England. This could prove pivotal here, Philadelphia have scored 10 goals across their six away games this season, winning four of these matches.

It’s worth noting that Toronto will be without Bernadeschi here, who leads the Toronto ranks for both goals (4) and assists (3). His miss will be felt and is likely to make a goal-shy Toronto side even more ineffective in the final third against a strong Philadelphia side.

⚫ Free-Scoring Philadelphia Look to Extend Away Dominance

Philadelphia have been one of the strongest teams across both divisions following 15 games of the MLS season. Only Vancouver (31) in the Western Conference have picked up more points than Philadelphia (30) across the two divisions.

Their away form is strong with four wins from their six trips away from Philadelphia (66%), which is an away record only bettered by Cincinnati in the Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia have scored more goals than any other side across the Western and Eastern Conference this season (30 - 2.0 per game), which is a goalscoring record that should be enough to see off a Toronto side that have only scored four goals across their eight home games so far this campaign.

📊 Toronto v Philadelphia Head-to-Head Key Stats

The most recent head-to-head meeting between the sides took place in July 2024 and saw Toronto run out 2-1 winners. There isn’t too much we can take from the meeting, given that both sides are in such contrasting form at the moment, aside from the fact that Tai Baribo scored Philadelphia’s goal in the game, a trait he’s carried over into this season.
