Orlando City form and stats
Orlando City have played 10 Major League Soccer games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-4-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Philadelphia Union that ended 2-2.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Orlando have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 3 and lost 4.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Orlando City as they have a new game in only three days, a Major League Soccer match thankfully also at home. Toronto are visiting.

Chicago Fire only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. Chicago Fire has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Portland Timbers at their stadium, the result 2-1.We have checked recent matches where Chicago have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were 3 victories, 1 draw and 9 defeats.
