New York Red Bulls definitely prefer to face Toronto FC. In 43 all-time meetings between the two sides, Red Bulls set a record of 24–9–10 and are unbeaten in their last 12 regular sessions against the Canadian club, going 9–0-3 in that period.
Red bulls continue the success when they go to Toronto on Wednesday.
New York (8-7-3, 27 points) has won each of the last four matches in total against Toronto and is riding an unbeaten line of five matches as visitors. Red Bulls, which are at eighth position in the Eastern Conference, will later be hoping to help a team which is just 1-6-2 on opposing the pitches in this season. This is a contrast from their results at home, where they are 7-1-1.
His alone road won a month ago, a 2–0 win over DC United.
New York coach Sandro Schwarz said, “It is always important to get the results, but it is only because we have won only one game.” “It always happens that we feel pressure. … It is necessary when we want (best performance of each game).”
Red Bulls defender Omar Valencia is expected to be available for Wednesday’s match. The 21 -year -old missed an injury against Atlanta United on 31 May in the last match against Austin FC on 14 June.
Toronto, meanwhile, will try to shake a disappointing first half of the season, when it returns to action for the first time in about a month.
Toronto (3-10-4, 13 points) ranks 14th in Eastern Conference, just two points from the last place. It has not been played since 31 May, falling 2–0 at home to Charlotte FC. This was Toronto’s third direct loss and sixth in the last eight matches.
Toronto coach Robin Fraser said, “The first half of the season is over.” “What happened, and only we can only affect the second part of the season. I think the training has been really good. I think they are in a good place. We know that we have a big mountain to climb. But we have talked a lot about it during this break and I think they are very ready for it.”
Toronto Captain Jonathan returns to the pitch without Osorio, who maintained a low body injury during training with Canada in ConcacAF Gold Cup, and can still be without star Federico Bernardichi.
Bernardchi, who missed the last two matches due to a suspension and a muscle tension, worked with a trainer away from the main group on Tuesday and no word was given on their potential availability. He leads Toronto with four goals and four assistance in 15 matches.
