Two teams from the same league meet in similar circumstances. Toronto sit 11th, with DC United following in 13th, just three points apart, and neither has guaranteed anything this season. In their last meeting in July, DC United won 2-1, but this time Toronto play at home, and the recent form of both teams is not as different as one might think. Toronto return home after a 2-4 defeat in their last match, but before that they picked up wins in two of five games. Overall this season they have scored 48 goals in 31 matches but have conceded 59, so the defence has been a problem all season. DC United, meanwhile, have just lost 0-2 and are on a losing run of three. Their attack is clearly blunter than the hosts', but their defence is not much worse, having conceded 55 goals in the same number of matches. This game is likely to be open from the start, as both teams tend to concede more than they score and both need points to move up the table. If Toronto dominate possession as expected, DC United will sit deep and wait to counter, a pattern that has often kept them from heavy defeats this season, even if their recent form is not good.
