“We’ve given up three goals being up a man in the last two weeks, and that should never happen,” said Austin FC head coach Robin Fraser.
Austin FC faces Toronto FC on April 18, 2026, at BMO Field in Toronto. The match is set to kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET.
As of midday Tuesday, Toronto FC is unbeaten in their last 11 home matches. They have also enjoyed a five-game unbeaten run overall.
In contrast, Austin FC has not won since March 1, 2026. Their recent league loss was a tight 2-1 defeat against the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Austin has struggled offensively this season. They have scored only nine goals so far—five of which came from set pieces.
Still, there is hope for Austin fans. Owen Wolff may return to the lineup after missing the first seven MLS matches this year.
Toronto currently sits in sixth place in the Eastern Conference. They have managed three wins in their last five matches.
“Even though we didn’t have a good first half, we could score two or three goals [before halftime],” noted Toronto’s Nico Estevez.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential lineup changes for either team as they prepare for this pivotal match.
With both teams in contrasting form, this matchup promises to be crucial for Austin’s quest to regain momentum and for Toronto to maintain their strong home record.
“We’re gaining points, and it’s better than last year (when) we weren’t doing that,” added Luka Gavran from Toronto.
