Toronto FC desperately need points on Saturday, Nov 7 at 10:00 PM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Philadelphia Union come into this fixture in red-hot form (5W from last 5). Toronto FC travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Philadelphia Union and Toronto FC have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 3–3 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Philadelphia Union clear favorites, but Toronto FC have shown they can grind out results. Expect Philadelphia Union to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
