Also, Chicago have now lost nine of their last 13 fixtures, a worrying statistic that has to be addressed by Manager Ezra Hendrickson. With a thirteenth position in the league and 0 wins, 0 losses and 0 draws, they currently have 17 points in the League.
Chicago have won three games, drawn three matches, and lost two fixtures of their eight League matches at home this season.
Chicago Fire will see 20 points so far this season, should they secure a win.
Toronto FC have so far accrued 18 points in this season of the MLS
Phili have dropped all six points in their last two games, a disappointing run of form, which Bob Bradley will be keen to turn around in this fixture.
Also, Bob Bradley knows that a run of eight losses in 11 matches for his Phili side, is going to be a tough run of form to change. However that is exactly what he must try to deliver. Now they have 0 matches won, 0 games lost and 0 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in twelfth place, with a total of 18 points.
It must be a worrying prospect for Phili to go back on the road, with a bud run of away performances under their belt this season. So far they have only secured three darts and five losses to the home team.
A victory for Toronto FC would put them on 21 points.
