Just call it the "Battle of the Basement."

Toronto FC has a chance to climb out of last place in the overall MLS standings when it hosts second-last FC Cincinnati this week.

TFC is riding a bit of momentum, coming off back-to-back clean sheets (the first time they've done that this season) while also going unbeaten in their last three games in all competitions. After losing its two previous contests this campaign against Cincinnati, Toronto can exact some revenge and leapfrog their Eastern Conference rivals in the league table with a win, and keep its momentum going down the final stretch.
