Red Bulls and Toronto eye open attacking match

Toronto arrive with four key absences that weaken their back line, including defenders Kuscevic, Laryea and Zimmerman plus midfielder Palacio. They already concede 2.4 goals per game this season while New York Red Bulls average 1.6 goals scored in home matches. Both teams have produced three or more goals in most of their league games so far, with Toronto hitting that mark in 20 of 29 and New York Red Bulls in 17 of 29. New York also see both teams score in 18 of their 29 outings, a pattern Toronto matches in 23 of theirs. Head-to-head results show New York Red Bulls unbeaten in the last ten meetings. The game should feature space in midfield as Toronto push for points from 11th place against an 8th-placed side that likes to press high at home.
