Toronto host Philadelphia Union at BMO Field on Wednesday (August 30) in the Major League Soccer.
The hosts have endured a near-abysmal league campaign, with interim boss Terry Dunfield struggling to steady the ship. Toronto lost 2-0 to Columbus Crew in their last outing. They sit rock-bottom in the Eastern Conference with 19 points from 26 games.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, enjoyed a winning return to league action at the weekend following a third-place finish in the recently concluded Leagues Cup. They beat Wayne Rooney's DC United 3-1 in their last game, with all three goals coming in the first half.
