AFC Toronto returns to BMO Field on Sunday looking to build on last weekend’s historic first-ever win at the stadium when it hosts Calgary Wild FC. Toronto (9-4-5, 31 points) currently sits third in the Northern Super League standings, three points back of first place.

Sunday marks the fourth meeting between the two sides this season, with Toronto holding a perfect 3-0-0 record against Calgary. The club has earned three shutout victories against Wild FC this season, most recently recording a 6-0 win at McMahon Stadium on August 1.

Toronto enters Sunday’s matchup following a 2-1 victory over Ottawa Rapid FC at BMO Field last weekend. Kaylee Hunter and Sarah Stratigakis scored in the win, which moved AFC Toronto to within three points of first place.

Calgary enters Sunday’s match on a five-game unbeaten streak. Despite Toronto’s results against Wild FC this season, head coach Marko Milanović emphasized that the team is expecting a competitive matchup against Calgary that has gained confidence through its recent results.

With the Supporters’ Shield race tightening, Toronto will look to continue its momentum at home and earn another important three points.

THE OPPONENT
Calgary Wild FC enters Sunday’s match with a 2-4-12 record. While Toronto has won all three meetings between the clubs this season, Calgary is currently riding a five-game unbeaten streak.

Toronto head coach Marko Milanović stressed that the previous results against Calgary will have no bearing on Sunday’s matchup, noting the club has significant respect for Wild FC and expects another competitive game.

WHAT TO WATCH
Building on a historic BMO win.
AFC Toronto earned its first-ever victory at BMO Field last weekend with a 2-1 win over Ottawa Rapid FC. Sunday marks the first of three remaining matches at BMO Field this season, giving Toronto another opportunity to build momentum in front of its home supporters.

Perfect against Calgary.
Toronto has won all three meetings against Calgary this season, scoring 11 goals while keeping three clean sheets. The club will look to maintain that perfect record on Sunday.

Facing a confident Calgary side.
Despite Calgary’s record, Wild FC enters Sunday unbeaten in its last five matches. Toronto will look to match Calgary’s recent confidence and intensity while remaining focused on its own game plan.

Next player up.
Kaylee Hunter and Olivia Chisholm are unavailable this weekend while representing Canada at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. With several players unavailable, Toronto will rely on its depth, with opportunities for players who have seen less action this season to step into larger roles.

Opportunity for Silano.
Since joining AFC Toronto in July, forward Lena Silano has made six appearances, including two starts. After contributing an assist in Toronto’s 2-0 win over Halifax Tides FC, Silano enters the weekend with an opportunity to continue establishing herself within Toronto’s forward group.
