Toronto FC looks to escape MLS basement with win over fellow struggler FC Cincinnati

The two worst teams in Major League Soccer square off Saturday when FC Cincinnati hosts Toronto FC.

Third-year Cincinnati (3-10-8) is no stranger to the basement. It finished last in its first two years in the league and comes into the game at TQL Stadium with an all-time regular-season record of 13-47-18.

After a prolonged rough entry of its own into the league in 2007, Toronto (3-13-6) has been more accustomed to the penthouse than the outhouse in recent years. It made the MLS Cup final in 2016, ‘17 and ‘19 — winning in 2017 — and was runner-up in the Supporters’ Shield race last season with a 13-5-5 record.
