They have a strong record against Eastern Conference teams, with only 14 goals conceded in five games played so far this season. Prince-Osei Owusu leads the team with five goals and Tyrese Spicer has scored two goals in the last 10 games.
On the other hand, NYCFC has been inconsistent against Eastern Conference teams, winning two out of four games played so far this season while remaining undefeated when scoring two or more goals in a game. Santiago Rodriguez leads the team with four goals and Adrian Alonso Martinez Batista has scored two goals in the last 10 games. This will be the second meeting between these two teams this season, with NYCFC winning the last one 2-1.
Both teams are expected to miss several key players due to injuries for the game. Toronto will be missing Brandon Servania, Richie Laryea, Shane O’Neill, and Lorenzo Insigne, while NYCFC will be without Rio Hope-Gund, Talles Magno, and Maxi Moralez. However both teams are determined to give their best performance despite their missing players.
