All eyes around MLS will be turned to Chicago this weekend when Toronto FC march into Toyota Park. The Reds, with a six-point advantage over the Fire in the standings, would love to make a statement by winning in the stadium of a fellow Supporters’ Shield contender.
The Fire were abysmal last season, finishing dead last in MLS. As such, TFC beat them three times, twice at BMO Field. Making a rapid turnaround this year, they’re now consistently hovering around the top of the Eastern Conference. They have struggled of late though, with just one win and four losses since the Gold Cup break.
