Colin Thompson Jersey However, while the MLS strugglers might be in the midst of another domestic nightmare, Saturdays hosts could be boosted by a welcomed distraction last time out. Eventually snatching a late 2-1 victory away at HFX Wanderers while on Canadian Cup duties, Toronto must find a way to build off of that result. Up against a Chicago side who are also dealing with their own rather public i sues, Bradleys downbeat squad should at least be boosted by their continued succe s against their fellow strugglers. Claiming a 3-1 victory the last time the Fire visited BMO Field, were backing a home draw no bet.Verdict: Toronto FC draw no betBest Odds: 21/20Bookmaker:
