Player to watch: Hugo Cuypers
Hugo Cuypers is the leading goalscorer for the visitors. He found the net on three occasions so far and we are confident he has the arsenal to get the job done at BMO Field. Surely, his presence on the pitch will help our Toronto vs Chicago Fire predictions.
Second player to watch: Brian Gutierrez
Brian Gutierrez is the 2nd-best finisher for the visitors this season. He found the net two times already and we expect to see coach Berhalter give him some minutes.
