Orlando suffered a 4-2 home defeat in their opening match against Philadelphia Union. It was their third home game without a win. They lost 1-0 at this venue to Toronto last time.
The Lions are still in search of their first top-flight title. Last season, they finished ninth overall and qualified for the playoffs, reaching the conference finals. They will take confidence from their 2023 and 2022 exploits against Toronto, when they crushed the visitors twice at home, both 4-0.
Toronto, meanwhile, settled for a 2-2 draw at D.C. United in their opening match. The visitors haven't won in eight matches across competitions, losing six. Toronto appear to be kicking off their new MLS campaign just as they finished off the previous one.
