Our prediction for this MLS match:
Toronto FC and Chicago Fire go head to head at BMO Field in what is expected to be an interesting Major League Soccer game. The Reds aim to build on a 2-1 win over DC United and they are surely capable of beating Chicago in front of home fans. Even though all Adama Diomande, Sigurd Rosted, Coello Camarero, Shane ONeill, Jonathan Osorio, Victor Vazquez, and Michael Bradley are sidelined with injuries, we predict that the hosts are going to grab something from the match.
Chicago, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-game winless run. Considering that the visitors will go for a victory as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Czichos and Kamara are pushing for a start, while all Chris Mueller, Jonathan Dean, and Carlos Teran remain in the recovery room.
