It's been rough for Chicago Fire so far, and that also applies to Toronto. These hardened teams would do anything for some vital points here.
- Chicago Fire have the fewest scored goals in the first half (7) in Major League Soccer
- Toronto have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Major League Soccer
These teams have little in common geographically as Toronto have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Chicago Fire and Toronto.
Chicago Fire form and stats
The complete Major League Soccer statistics at home this season for Chicago Fire are 3-3-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Chicago Fire's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Columbus Crew (placed 8th). Did Chicago get overconfident in their match against Columbus Crew? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-3 defeat. Midfield player Mueller got a match rating of 8.23 in that game, the max score being 10. Mueller scored one goal and hit three key passes.
Prior to that, an away loss at SJ Earthquakes.The match schedule is unforgiving for Chicago Fire as they have a new game in only three days, a Major League Soccer match thankfully also at home. Seattle Sounders are visiting.
From these home matches, Chicago Fire have conceded only 8 goals.
Toronto form and stats
There's been little loot from Toronto's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 8 away games in the Major League Soccer. Toronto only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws.
Toronto's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus SJ Earthquakes that finished 2-2. Osorio got a match rating of 8.03 in that game, top player of the team. Osorio scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 51 successful passes (of 57 total).
A loss against Seattle Sounders was the result prior to that, in a home game.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Toronto manager Bradley as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Montreal Impact.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Toronto have scored 10 goals in 8 league games away. The Toronto manager Bradley has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
