New York City FC vs Toronto Preview & Picks


New York City are tipped to come out on top in this home game.

City have one of the Eastern Conference's strongest home records, while Toronto have been stacking up losses both at home and on the road.

  • New York City FC have won 3 of their last 4 home games 
  • New York City FC have won their last 5 games against Toronto. 
  • Toronto have lost 3 of their last 6 away games 

Head To Head 


  • New York City FC lead the all-time series 12-9 with 7 draws
  • New York City FC won 1-0 when the two teams last met in April

New York City FC Form 


New York City FC have been battling inconsistency throughout the entire 2025 campaign, currently sitting in 9th place on the Eastern Conference with 28 points after 19 rounds. 

Pascal Jensen’s side has secured just one win in their last four matches. After losing to Houston Dynamo 3-0 at home and drawing at Nashville 2-2, they defeated Atlanta United 4-0 in front of their crowd. 

New York City FC failed to connect though and suffered a 1-0 defeat to Montreal last weekend in Canada despite having 0.83 expected goals, 68% possession and 11 shots. 

Hannes Wolf has been their standout player so far, recording eight goals and three assists in 19 MLS appearances. 

Toronto Form 


Toronto’s chances to participate in the MLS playoffs have been reduced to a minimum after collecting just 17 points across 19 matches. 

They suffered back to back home defeats to Nashville 2-1 and Philadelphia Union 2-1 in late May, while starting June with another loss in Canada to Charlotte 2-0. 

Three-game losing run has ended with a 1-1 draw against New York Red Bulls last week, while claiming all three points against Portland Timbers 3-0 on Sunday. 

Verdict

New York City have been rock solid at home and have won the last five meetings with Toronto.

Everything is pointing towards the hosts coming out on top on Thursday.
