As Toronto and Orlando City face off this weekend, Orlando would be the clear favourites were it not for the Canadians home advantage. Orlando currently sit in fourth place in the league, two points behind Philadelphia who are top of the pack. Toronto on the other hand currently sit down in 10th position, just one point ahead of Chicago Fire and Inter Miami at the foot of the table. The Canadians have lost their last four games and will be looking to turn their bad run of form around quickly before they continue to sink down the table. There is, astonishingly, just nine points separating the 14 teams in the Eastern Conference, so there isn't currently too much cause for concern, so long as they turn things around pretty sharpish. Orlando lost 4-1 to Montreal last time out, but before that had lost just one of their last four games. 3:1
