Chicago’s home form is patchy, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last five at Soldier Field, while Toronto’s away form is shaky – just 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 defeats. Chicago’s strengths are fast wing play, set-pieces, and high pressing, but they struggle with discipline, defensive lapses, and late goals conceded.

Watch for Bernardeschi’s influence for Toronto and Gutierrez’s set-piece threat for Chicago. The storylines? Can Chicago finally turn draws into wins at home?
