Toronto FC vs Chicago Fire Prediction and Betting Tips | 29th May 2022
On their return to league football this weekend, Toronto FC will host Chicago Fire at the BMO Field on Sunday in the Major League Soccer.
The hosts are struggling for form at the moment and are without a league win in over a month. They came from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw against DC United last time out, with Ayo Akinola and Canadian international Jonathan Osorio getting on the scoresheet for the Reds.
Toronto are 13th in the Eastern Conference standings, with just 12 points from 13 games. They will now look to return to winning ways in the league on Sunday.
Chicago, meanwhile, are not in much better form themselves after a decent start to their campaign. They were beaten 1-0 by New York City FC in their last game, falling to a spot-kick midway through the first half.
The visitors sit rock-bottom in the Eastern Conference standings, one point behind their weekend hosts. They will look to leapfrog them with a win this weekend.
