This trend holds across the season as well, with averages of 1.54 goals scored and 1.69 conceded per match.

Toronto have failed to pick up a single win in their last five MLS outings, drawing three times and losing twice. Over their previous ten matches, they’ve managed just two victories alongside five draws, underlining both their struggles to collect points and their ability to grind out at least minimal results even during a slump. On average, Toronto score 1.8 goals per game but concede even more-2.1 per match. These numbers highlight a clear tendency towards high-scoring encounters: their attack consistently creates chances, but defensive lapses remain a regular issue. This is further evidenced by a lengthy run of games where both sides have found the net.
