Toronto FC hosts Atlanta in a battle of struggling teams looking to climb standings
TORONTO — Toronto FC welcomes Atlanta United on Saturday in a battle of two teams still struggling to find a way back up the MLS standings.
Atlanta (4-10-6) goes into weekend play in 13th place in the Eastern Conference, one place and one point above Toronto (4-11-5).
Atlanta has just two wins in its last 14 league outings (2-8-4) since a March 29 win over New York City FC. Toronto, which has not played since a 3-1 loss at New York City FC on July 3, has won just one of its last six games (1-4-1).
Despite Atlanta’s recent poor form, Toronto coach Robin Fraser expects a tough challenge at BMO Field.
