San Diego FC vs Toronto FC Match Prediction 17 July 2025

This should be a game to win for San Diego FC after securing a win against the Chicago Fire during the weekend. However, this team's inability to be compact in defence will be another problem as the Toronto FC side has not struggled to score in recent times. Meanwhile, it is just clear Toronto FC do not know how to win and the momentum is now totally in San Diego FC’s favour which could make the difference in this fixture. While I feel the Toronto FC will prove stubborn, a draw at halftime could be a possible outcome with both teams finding the net in the process. Yet, I do not see San Diego FC sharing points at the end of full time. 

Our match prediction is a win for San Diego FC and over 2.5 goals with odds at 1.75 on 1Xbet bookmaker. 

Our betting tip is a draw and both teams to score at the end of halftime with odds at 7.50 on Bet365. 

Our last match prediction is over 0.5 goals for Toronto FC with odds at 1.60 on Betway bookmaker.
