- Recent stats: Toronto FC have conceded 18 goals in nine home MLS games in 2026 (2-5-2 record). New England Revolution have scored 7 goals in 7 away games in MLS 2026 (1-2-4 record). Carles Gil (7 goals) and Daniel Salloi (4 goals) are the leading scorers for the respective sides in MLS 2026.
Toronto to nick it in midfield matchup
Standings and form
Toronto FC are much improved from last season, but they remain 26th on 17 points after 18 MLS games in 2026 with New England Revolution sitting 7th on 30 points.
Styles of play
These two sides are not closely matched in the MLS 2026 campaign and the table certainly doesn't make Saturday's matchup at BMO Field a home game, even if the visitors are coming off a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Houston Dynamo and have won just once away from home all season.
This is a battle of two distinctly different soccer sides with Robin Fraser's Toronto favouring a patient, possession-based game with a tight midfield and selective pressing that keeps the game under control. New England, who have been more effective so far, are much more aggressive and like to hunt for turnovers, especially in the half-spaces, which should make for an interesting game.
Close game with goals at both ends likely
With the way these two teams are set up, the match odds for this clash seem to suggest that Toronto are a favorite at 2.12, while New England are 3.1 and the draw is 3.6. The visitors are the more dangerous of the two sides and definitely have a chance to steal a point here, but the value looks to be on both teams to score in this match-up, which is currently 1.55, as well as taking over 2.5 goals at 1.65.
A tight game is expected, and we're taking Toronto to get the win by one goal, as they usually do. Toronto have not won in five matches, drawing their last three against New England, DC United and New York City FC, which isn't good form, but this could be a chance to change that as they face a Revolution side that are 1-2-2 in their last five, drawing 2-2 at CF Montreal in their most recent away game.
Salloi the spark for Toronto
Players to watch
We're expecting a close game at BMO Field, but the home side should just be able to nick it.
- Carles Gil (7) is clearly New England's danger man in MLS 2026 and has 2 goals in his last 5 games, but they've lost their bite in the final third with just two goals in their last two games.
- Daniel Salloi (4) is more of a spark plug in the front line for Toronto and he may be the key to breaking down a New England defence that likes to clog the middle.
- Marko Mitrović has given the Revolution a bit more bite in terms of pressing, but Toronto are a patient side and should be able to keep the game under control while waiting for their opportunities.
