Vancouver Whitecaps
- In their last match versus Portland Timbers, the Whitecaps went ahead in the 1st half but for the second game in a row, lost this lead and went behind to their opponents. Fortunately for them they were able to earn all three points thanks to a late goal by Raposo.
- That game allowed them to move up to 2nd in the Wester Conference for the time being, and also put an end to their streak without a win in the MLS at home.
- Coming off the back of their last win at home, if they were to have repeat success in this match vs Toronto then they would earned back-to-back home victories for the first time since 2023.
Toronto
- Toronto's last match vs Sporting KC ended in a 3-1 defeat and their first lost at home in 2024.
- The game was an overall lackluster display for their defense that allowed one to many quality scoring opportunities for their opposition.
- Currently the team can be said to be experiencing a difficulty in bouncing back from defeats, a trend being carried on from last season. This is something to keep in mind for this game.
