The MLS returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Chicago Fire lock horns with Toronto FC in an important clash at the Soldier Field on Saturday.
Toronto FC are currently in 14th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have not been at their best this season. The Canadian outfit slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of St. Louis City last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Chicago Fire, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The hosts eased past CF Montreal by a 3-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Toronto FC are in the midst of a disconcerting slump at the moment and are in desperate need of a shot in the arm. The Canadians have been defensively shoddy this month and have a few issues to resolve ahead of this match.
Chicago Fire have grown in stature since the start of the season and put their best foot forward against CF Montreal last week. The hosts are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.
