D.C. United vs Toronto: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Washington club was the worst in all of MLS last season—just 26 points for the season. Things aren't going perfectly this year either, but they are already approaching that mark by mid-summer. Against Houston Dynamo, they also picked up a point, ending 1-1. However, they were eliminated immediately in the U.S. Open Cup.
The team from Toronto, the 2025 champions, also didn't shine last season, earning only 32 points—less than one per round. This year, after a relatively decent start, they completely collapsed by the end of spring, winning only against San Jose out of their last five opponents. After the break, they managed draws in the derby against Montreal and against Revolution, but both ended 0-0.
The capital's representatives manage only 1.38 goals per game scored, conceding an average of 1.63. The Canadians are faring worse: yes, they score a bit more—1.38 goals per game—but also concede as many as 1.81 on average.
