Toronto FC v DC United Betting Tips [19 March 2022]

A return to winning ways will dominate plans for both Toronto FC and DC United as the two face off in the fourth round of matches in the MLS. Fourth placed DC United have six points as they prepare to travel to Ontario for this game while hosts Toronto are 11th with one point from the opening three matches. Toronto are winless so far and are coming from a second straight loss, having fallen 2-1 to Columbus Crew. Their only point so far was picked in the opening 1-1 draw with Dallas, after which they suffered a 4-1 loss at home to New York RB. The defeat at Columbus Crew extends Toronto’s winless run in the league to nine matches, stretching back to last season. They have five losses in these nine league matches. At home in the league, they have no win in the last five and lost three, while conceding two or more in four of the five.

DC United are coming from a 2-0 loss at home to Chicago Fire, which was their first defeat this season and ended a run of two straight wins in their opening league matches. They will be out to bounce back here and recent form will favour them. The visitors have four wins in their last six matches in the league, stretching back to last season and with their positive start, they will be in the better state here. DC United have also not lost to Toronto in the last four meetings, and scored at least two goals in each of these four matches. However, DC United have no clean sheet in any of their last six matches against Toronto FC, who have also scored in each of their opening three matches this season.

Toronto have started the season so poorly and this will be another tough game for them, considering how DC United have started the season, their run in the league as well as their head to head stats. DC United have better numbers and will head to this game as favourites. Back the away side to win here.
