Toronto FC vs Chicago Fire Prediction and Betting Tips | May 31st 2023
Toronto FC will be looking to pick up two successive wins for the first time since last August as they take on Chicago Fire at BMO Field on Wednesday.
Frank Klopas’ men have failed to win their last four MLS away games and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Toronto FC finally stopped the rot as they picked up a hard-earned 2-1 victory over DC United last weekend.
Bob Bradley’s side were previously on a five-match winless run across all competitions, losing five games and claiming just one draw in that time.
Despite their poor form, Toronto have been solid at home, where they have lost just once in eight league matches this season.
Chicago Fire, meanwhile, were left spitting feathers last time out as they were held to a 3-3 draw by New England Revolution after blowing a two-goal lead.
Prior to that, Klopas’ side snapped their two-match winless run as they secured a 2-0 victory over Austin FC in their US Open Cup last-16 clash.
With 16 points from 14 matches, Chicago Fire are currently 12th in the Eastern Conference table, level on points with Wednesday’s hosts.
