Toronto vs Chicago Fire betting tips: Major League Soccer preview, predictions and odds


Toronto are unbeaten in 13 meetings with Chicago Fire, winning ten of these, dating back to 2015. TFC though have failed to keep a clean sheet in 21 consecutive MLS matches, equaling the club record set immediately before this current streak.

Both teams to score is 8/13.

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is 1/1.

Toronto FC to win and both teams to score is 7/2.

Jesús Jiménez is 5/1 to break the deadlock and 6/4 to net anytime. 

Match preview

The Eastern Conference's bottom two go head-to-head in Ontario.

Of the two, it's far more surprising to see Toronto FC in this lowly position with the Bob Bradley revolution yet to take full effect.

The Reds came from behind twice last weekend to draw 2-2 with D.C. United at Audi Field.

Ayo Akinola and Jonathan Osorio with the equalisers, the latter coming in the final minute of normal time.

This ended a run of five successive defeats for TFC who haven't won in MLS since a shock 2-1 victory over Philadelphia Union on 16 April.

They did at least reach the Canadian Championship semi-finals on Tuesday night, battling to a 2-1 victory over HFX Wanderers.

Michael Bradley opened the scoring in Halifax before a late own goal saw the seven-times winners advance to the last four.

Back in Major League Soccer, will Toronto claim a much-needed victory.

Chicago Fire are the only side below TFC in the east but, with the gap at just one point, they would leap off the bottom with a victory.

Ezra Hendrickson's side though are now without a victory in nine outings following last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Citi Field against NYCFC.

Since their last victory, against SKC on 19 March, the Fire have accumulated just three points, two of which came in goalless draws.

So, despite their own poor form, Toronto will fancy their chances of a victory at BMO Field.
