On Wednesday night, Orlando City will return to the City Beautiful for a midweek match against Toronto FC. The Lions were happy with a successful road trip, but the defending Eastern Conference championships are sure to challenge them in the fortress. Here is everything you need to know about Orlando City’s latest opponent, Toronto FC.



Recent Matches



Toronto FC lost their Canada Day matchup against FC Dallas 3-1 on the road in Toyota Stadium. Overall, they are 3-2-0 in their last five matches. They started off the season as the definitive leaders in the league, but they now sit in second place in the Eastern Conference behind the Chicago Fire.



Who’s Hot



Toronto FC is a complete team, with an array of goal-scorers and strong defenders. Sebastian Giovinco and Jozy Altidore are two of the top stars on Toronto’s offensive side, but players such as Drew Moor and Jordan Hamilton have also proven to be goal-scoring threats. Toronto FC have also kept eight clean sheets so far this season.



Who’s Not



Toronto FC have had a couple of bad games in their past five that show some definite weak spots. In their 3-1 loss to FC Dallas, their defense was unable to hold off the Dallas goal-scoring threat. An earlier loss to the New England Revolution may have been due to a combination of injuries and a difficult schedule thanks to the Canadian Championship, but the message is clear-- this team can be beat.



Head-to-Head



This will be the second match this season between Toronto FC and Orlando City. The Lions suffered a 2-1 loss on the road in May and will be looking to return the favor on Wednesday night.
