After back-to-back home wins, D.C. United look to extend their winning streak to three games when they head to BMO Field for a midweek clash with Toronto FC.
Toronto FC (5-4-1) sit just above the playoff line in the Eastern Conference following a 2-1 home loss to the Philadelphia Union, the Reds' second consecutive defeat. Alejandro Pozuelo canceled out a first-half own goal by Chris Mavinga to level in the 51st minute. But Jamiro Monteiro scored the decisive goal in the 68h minute on a swift counterattack.
D.C. United (7-3-2) are coming off a 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City at soggy Audi Field Sunday evening. Wayne Rooney set up Paul Arriola with the 78th-minute winner for the Black-and-Red, who are level on points with the first-place Philadelphia Union. Rooney created eight chances against Kansas City on Sunday. Rooney is the third player to create at least eight chances in a single game this season, per Opta.
Toronto have lost just two of their last eight meetings against D.C. United at BMO Field (4W-2D). They lost six of their first eight games at home against D.C. United (2W).
