Today in MLS, Toronto FC and Chicago Fire square off at BMO Field.

Robin Fraser’s men have shown a big improvement recently, and the Reds are looking to stretch their unbeaten run in MLS to six. Read on for the latest Toronto FC vs. Chicago odds and best bets.

Toronto FC vs. Chicago Odds, Picks & Props

Reds Undefeated in Five

Toronto has turned a corner, unbeaten in its last five MLS games. The pressure was mounting on Fraser, but Canadians have won two and tied three of the last five, losing just once in the league since May.

After a stunning 2-1 victory at Inter Miami, Toronto drew 1-1 at home with New York City last time out. Can Fraser’s boys keep the momentum going with another positive result today?

Toronto has moved away from the foot of the Eastern Conference table up to tenth. The Reds are now focused on the top nine, and a positive outcome this weekend could propel them into the playoffs.

Fire Looking to Keep Up the Heat

Since back-to-back defeats to Inter Miami and New York City, Chicago has won three and drawn two of five in MLS. Gregg Berhalter’s boys have tied the last two, but they claimed consecutive victories over Charlotte, Portland Timbers, and Orlando City before.

Fire is looking to nail down a playoff spot in the East. The Men in Red currently sit third behind Nashville and Inter Miami. Nashville is running away with the title, but Miami is certainly catchable.

Chicago is looking to get back to winning ways in Canada after two draws on the spin. This is a tricky-looking fixture, but Berhalter and his troops will fancy their chances at BMO Field.

Head-to-Head Meetings

Chicago won the most recent meeting in May, with goals from Robin Lod and Andrew Gutman enough for a 2-1 victory for Fire.

The Illinois club has an excellent recent record in this fixture, unbeaten in eight (five wins, three draws). Toronto’s last win was a five-goal thriller in Ontario in May 2022.

Toronto FC vs. Chicago Odds & Picks

With both teams protecting five-game unbeaten runs in MLS, this is a fascinating fixture on Canadian soil. Looking at the latest MLS odds from bet365, the home team is available at +190, while the away side is +125.

This is a tough game to call on paper. A few weeks ago, we would have had this down as a comfortable away win, but Toronto’s upswing in form must be taken into consideration.

Today’s clash in Canada could go in either direction, but we are siding with a home victory. We could be in for an entertaining evening, so why not back the Toronto win and over 3.5 goals at +600?

Our Prediction: Toronto FC to Win & Over 3.5 Goals – +600, bet365

Toronto FC vs. Chicago Picks

Chicago also seems to find the net. The Men in Red have scored in every MLS game since a goalless draw with Columbus Crew in March. Also, only four teams in the Eastern Conference have scored more than Fire's 39 MLS goals this term.

Robert Lewandowski only made his Chicago debut in July, but the Polish legend has already chipped in with three MLS goals for his new club. However, having gone two games without one, the former Bayern Munich and Barcelona man will be keen to get his name back on the scoresheet in this one.

Lewandowski always has an eye for goal, and you can get +100 for the 38-year-old to score anytime at BMO Field.
