The Chicago Fire host Toronto FC tonight at Soldier Field in their final home match of the MLS regular season.
Chicago (15-11-6, 51 points) enters the game on a high after a thrilling 5–3 win over Inter Miami, where five different players found the net. The victory secured the Fire’s playoff berth and showcased the team’s attacking depth.
Chicago ranks second in MLS in goals scored (64) — just behind Miami’s 68 — led by Hugo Cuypers with 17 goals and Philip Zinckernagel with 14.
Toronto (5-13-13, 28 points) is long eliminated from postseason contention and continues to search for stability after a difficult campaign marked by defensive lapses and inconsistent form.
Chicago has dominated the recent head-to-head against Toronto, winning two of the last three meetings and outscoring them 7–3 over that span.
Prediction
Chicago’s attack has been among the league’s most potent, and its momentum after the Inter Miami win should carry over. Toronto, meanwhile, has struggled to contain high-scoring opponents and face another uphill battle on the road.
Predicted Score: Chicago Fire 3, Toronto FC 1
