Recent form
Chicago Fire
Chicago Fire's recent form has been concerning, with the team experiencing a rough patch in their last six games. They have managed only one win, one draw, and suffered four losses during this period. Notably, the Fire are currently on a three-game losing streak, which is their longest run of defeats in this stretch. The team's defensive struggles are evident, having conceded 12 goals in six matches (an average of 2 per game) and failing to keep a single clean sheet. Their 4-1 loss to Inter Miami stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Despite the defensive woes, Chicago Fire has been involved in some exciting matches, with 67% of their games seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals. However, their current 14th position in the league with just 29 points from 31 games reflects their overall poor performance this season.
Toronto FC
Toronto FC's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six games showing a pattern of alternating wins and losses. They've managed to secure three victories and suffered three defeats in this period, including a win in the Canadian Championship. Despite their mid-table position (8th), their goal-scoring has been relatively low, averaging less than one goal per game (0.83) in their last six matches. Defensively, they've been more vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game. The team has managed two clean sheets during this stretch, but there's a noticeable negative goal difference of -3. Interestingly, 67% of their recent games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards lower-scoring matches. While there are no extended winning or losing streaks, the 3-1 loss to DC United stands out as the highest-scoring game in this period.

Recent home/away form
Chicago Fire
Based on the recent home games and statistics provided, the Chicago Fire have shown mixed form at home. While they've managed to secure three wins in their last six home matches, they've also suffered two consecutive losses in their most recent games. The team's home performances have been characterized by high-scoring encounters, with 83% of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals. A particularly thrilling match was their 4-3 victory over Philadelphia Union on July 4, 2024, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this set. Despite their inconsistent results, the Fire have been consistently finding the back of the net, scoring in five out of six games, but they've struggled defensively, keeping only one clean sheet in this period. Their goal difference of -1 over these six games suggests a vulnerability in defense, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game while scoring 1.67.
Toronto FC
Toronto FC's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with some notable highs and lows. In their last six away matches, they've managed three wins, one draw, and two losses, showing resilience on the road. The team has maintained a balanced goal difference, scoring and conceding 7 goals each across these games. Defensively, they've been solid at times, keeping three clean sheets. However, their 4-3 loss to Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, contributing to 33% of their away games going over 2.5 goals. Toronto FC has shown an ability to grind out narrow victories, with two 1-0 wins in their last six away games, demonstrating their capability to secure points on their travels despite not always being prolific in front of goal.
