Toluca vs Chicago Fire prediction: A fiery Mexican-American head-to-head in the Leagues Cup ahead
Key Stats
- Toluca didn’t lose a single league game this season.
- Toluca’s market value is set at €71m, which is almost twice as high as Chicago Fire’s.
- Paulinho is Toluca’s top goalscorer, with three goals in four games.
Correct score prediction: Toluca 3-0 Chicago Fire
One of Toluca’s last games in Liga MX ended 3-0 in their favor. The match at Estadio Nemesio Diez versus lackluster Mazatlan was completely under coach Renato Paiva’s control. We are sure that Chicago Fire’s issues this season will make it so that our Toluca vs Chicago Fire predictions succeed.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Toluca’s manager wants to prove the experts right
- HOME: +140 – 40.1%
- DRAW: +235 – 22.0%
- AWAY: +160 – 37.9%
*These Toluca vs Chicago Fire odds are subject to change
According to the odds in our exceptional Toluca vs Chicago Fire predictions, a draw priced at +235 equates to a 22.0% chance for the two teams to share the spoils. However, we do believe Toluca deserve to be named the expected winners, with a 40.1% win probability ahead of the kick-off.
Over 2.5 goals also seems quite plausible as the odds valued at -118 give the two teams a 54.13% chance of scoring three or more at Soldier Field.

Player to watch: Xherdan Shaqiri
After taking part in the Euro 2024 with Switzerland, Shaqiri is back in action for Chicago Fire. His 2024 statistics aren’t impressive, but we still believe he has the quality to be a consistent performer for coach Klopas.
Second player to watch: Chris Brady
We’d like to turn your attention to shot-stopper Brady. We are featuring him as one of the players to watch in our Toluca vs Chicago Fire prediction, as he had a storming game in the match versus almighty Herons a couple of days ago. Sure, Chicago Fire got beaten 2-1 at DRV PNK Stadium, but Brady made seven crucial saves for his club.
