Toronto FC is back in MLS action midweek, as Charlotte FC visits BMO Field.

Having finally snapped the dreadful winless run, can the Canadians follow it up with back-to-back league wins? In this in-depth Toronto FC vs Charlotte prediction, we have the latest MLS odds and best picks.

Toronto FC vs. Charlotte Prediction

Toronto is up to 12th in the Eastern Conference standings after ending the woeful winless run last weekend. As for Charlotte, Dean Smith’s side is doing okay in fifth, collecting 28 points from 19 games.

Although eight points separate the pair in the current table, Toronto could close the gap to just five points with a win. Robin Fraser’s men will have one eye on a playoff berth if they can build on the recent victory.

Toronto Finally Ends Winless Run

Toronto went 12 MLS games without a win, drawing seven and losing five. However, they finally put a stop to that embarrassing run with a hard-fought 2-1 home victory over New England Revolution last time out.

Robin Fraser is still under serious pressure, but last weekend’s win could signal a step in the right direction for the 59-year-old.

The Reds will be desperate to keep the run going, but Charlotte is an unpredictable outfit under Smith. The side from North Carolina heads to Ontario in fine form, picking up four wins in six MLS fixtures.

Charlotte Eases Past Columbus

After losing for the first time in five MLS games, Charlotte bounced back with a comfortable home victory over Columbus Crew last weekend. Goals from Brandt Bronico, Liel Adaba, and Pep Biel were enough for a 3-1 triumph.

That said, Charlotte’s results away from the Bank of America Stadium have been poor. The Crown has lost four of the past five and claimed just two away league wins all season.

These two teams met a few months ago, with Charlotte winning 3-1 at the Bank of America Stadium. The North Carolina team has an excellent recent record in this fixture, winning each of the previous four MLS meetings.

Toronto FC vs. Charlotte Odds & Picks

Looking at the latest MLS odds from Betway, Toronto are the slight favourites at +110. However, Charlotte is not too far behind in the betting, with Betway offering +162, while the draw is priced at +250.

BMO Field is in high spirits after last weekend’s much-needed victory over New England. The long-suffering fans had not seen their team win on home soil since a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rapids in early April.

Even though Toronto’s recent record in this fixture is poor, the Canadians must build on last week’s victory and start climbing up the Eastern Conference table.

In-form Charlotte has playoff ambitions, and Smith’s troops will want all three points in Ontario. The away team will be no pushover, but we are backing Toronto to claim back-to-back MLS wins for the first time in over four months.

This could be a tight and cagey matchup at BMO Field, so our Toronto FC vs Charlotte prediction is the 2-1 home win at Betway’s +750 price.

Our Prediction: Toronto FC to Win 2-1 (+750, Betway)

Toronto FC vs Charlotte Props

Emilio Aristizabal has only netted three times for Toronto this season, though all three have come in the Reds’ last four MLS fixtures at BMO Field. The Colombian bagged a brace in a recent 4-2 loss to Inter Miami CF and was on target against Atlanta United.

Aristizabal will want to keep his momentum ticking, and the 21-year-old will back himself to get on the scoresheet against Charlotte. Josh Sargent may be the favourite to score first at most soccer betting sites, but there is good value in +600 for Aristizabal to open the scoring.
