Toronto FC president Bill Manning has set an eight-point target from the team’s first eight road games.
Here’s a look at Toronto’s competition during its extended road trip to start the season:
At New York Red Bulls
Sunday, March 6, 1:30 p.m.
TFC beat New York at home last October to secure its first playoff berth, but the opening day visitors have never won at Red Bull Arena. Taking any points off last year’s Supporters Shield winners would be a success.
Prediction: Loss
At New York City FC
Sunday, March 13, 5 p.
