Toronto is unbeaten in its last 13 matches against the Fire (W10 D3) dating back to September 2015. The 13-game streak is the longest unbeaten run against an opponent in Toronto FC’s MLS history and is one off the MLS regular season record of 14 straight without defeat against a single opponent, done four times.
Toronto FC ended its five-match losing streak with a late goal against D.C. United to earn a 2-2 away draw. The Reds were unable to end its run without a clean sheet, with the draw marking the 21st consecutive MLS match without a shutout for Toronto, equaling the club record they set immediately before this run.
Chicago’s winless run extended to nine games (D3 L6) following a 1-0 loss at New York City on Sunday. The Fire have had just two double-digit winless runs in a single season in MLS history, with both coming in the 2011 campaign (11 straight from April-June, 10 straight from June-August).
Jonathan Osorio scored his third goal of the season in Toronto’s draw with D.C. on Saturday. Osorio has scored six times against the Fire in MLS play, more than against any other opponent in his career, though the last of those goals was scored over three years ago, in April 2019.
The Fire have scored an MLS-low 11 times in 13 games this season. Since 2000, teams have scored 11 goals or fewer at this stage of a season 24 times, with only five of those going on to make the playoffs. Two of them (NYCFC & Nashville) did so in the COVID-shortened 2020 season.
