Toronto FC vs Chicago Fire tips and predictions

Not much stands out in prices ahead of tight MLS encounter

With 12 points Toronto FC host 11-point Chicago Fire. There's just 1 positions separating the two sides.

The jury is out on this one and it should be a good game.

You may disagree but Toronto FC might have reasons to be confident about adding to Chicago Fire's latest reverses. This group of away players come into the match with 5 losses from their last 6 matches. They've been facing different opposition but that doesn't appear to be the record of a confident team.

This home side is making the most of a recent run of form and they can be a problem. Toronto FC have scored two or more times in 7 of their recent 11 matches.

Chicago Fire have not enjoyed some of their recent trips. They actually conceded three or more times in 3 of their last 4 away matches. And their problems aren't limited to their defensive third. Men in Red have not been able to depend on their goal-scorers lately. They've been goalless in 9 of their last 16 matches.

Toronto FC have won 10 of the last 13 fixtures between these sides before this one. It might not be significant but the head-to-head stats could be an insight into what lies ahead.

To be fair, it won't be a surprise to see them share the spoils. The betting markets imply that both sides can get in on the act as they can both be dangerous in attack. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the best pick from that market. As far as the total goals line goes, it's at least three goals standing out in this one considering the prices available.
