United head to Canada for their final match of a midsummer road trip, ending a four-match span that started back on July 1. United and Toronto FC face off Saturday night at BMO Field at 7:30 PM ET on NewsChannel 8. "Our focus right now is Toronto and trying to get three points out of this game," head coach Ben Olsen said. "We have to start moving up and getting some wins." Take a look at some of the numbers surrounding this Eastern Conference matchup.

The number of games in which D.C. United have conceded one or fewer goals this season, good for fifth-best in MLS this season.

0
The number goals scored by Toronto’s striker, Sebastian Giovinco, in his past eight games this season. The Italian native scored the solitary goal against United earlier this season with his first-minute strike, the earliest goal scored by Toronto FC in the club’s 10-year history.
