Looking at the recent matchups between these two Eastern Atlantic rivals, the New York team has held a slight edge, winning three out of the last five contests. The home team, Toronto, has managed two victories in that span. Scoring has been consistently high in these games, with the combined scores often exceeding 220 points. In their last five meetings, the average combined score has been 229.8 points. The New York team has shown a tendency to win by larger margins when they do win, as seen in their 2025-01-08 and 2024-12-23 victories where they won by 14 and 14 points respectively. However, Toronto's recent streak of two wins suggests they are currently in better form. The away team, New York, is currently 26-18 with a 1-game winning streak, while the home team, Toronto, boasts a 27-19 record with a 2-game winning streak. This suggests Toronto might have a slight momentum advantage heading into this game.
