Toronto FC host DC United at BMO Field on Wednesday, October 28 (7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT).
Neither side carries a fresh absence into this one, so the team news is mercifully simple: expect to see each club’s leading men involved from the off. Dániel Sallói, Toronto FC’s top scorer with eight goals this season, should lead the line alongside Joshua Sargent, who has seven of his own, while Derrick Etienne Jr. offers a secondary scoring outlet from his advanced midfield role. DC United arrive with a full squad to choose from too, built around Tai Baribo, who has scored sixteen times this season — comfortably the most prolific player in this fixture — with Louis Munteanu providing a second front-line presence.

Toronto FC vs DC United Prediction
Expect goals at both ends of BMO Field, but Toronto FC’s superior firepower up top should be enough to get them over the line. Sallói and Sargent have the quality to trouble a DC defence leaking goals at range, while Baribo will fancy his chances at the other end — Toronto FC to win two-one, with goals for both sides along the way. Toronto remain tenth in the Eastern Conference on thirty-six points, DC United thirteenth on thirty-four, and both will take a result here as they push for position before the regular season winds down.
