Betting on the Portland Timbers
The Portland Timbers have been climbing up the standings after a shaky start to the tournament, where the team was able to record only one win in seven matches. Now, the team has gone undefeated for two games, and that has propelled it to ninth place in the standings.
The Timbers defeated St. Louis City 2-1 away, which gave the squad some confidence. Last matchday, the team drew 2-2 with Austin FC in a game that seemed to already had in the bag, but a defensive mishap in the 92nd minute cost it the three points.
This is something that has been happening lately with this squad, sometimes it gets uncoordinated at the back and becomes disorganized very easily. The Timbers team has conceded goals in six matches played, and it has scored goals in all five of its home matches.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Alijaz Ivacic; Juan Mosquera, Larrys Mabiala, Dario Zuparic, Claudio Bravo; Diego Chará, Cristhian Paredes; Santiago Moreno, Evander, Marvin Loria; Franck Boli.
Betting on Vancouver Whitecaps
The Vancouver Whitecaps is becoming a serious team after a shaky start with two consecutive setbacks. Now, the team has gone undefeated for eight matches, recording five draws and three losses, which shows it is gradually becoming competitive.
In its last game against Minnesota, the team won 3-2 in a match it dominated, and in which the Minneapolis team posed little threat. However, the Vancouver Whitecaps still conceded two goals, indicating its defense performance has not been at its best.
this team performs poorly when playing away. In fact, it has not won any away matches in the competition so far, recording three draws and a loss. Without a doubt, leaving Canada is a big challenge for the team.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Yohei Takaoka; Javain Brown, Ranko Veselinovic, Tristan Blackmon, Luis Martins; Julian Gressel, Andres Cubas, Alessandro Schopf; Pedro Vite, Brian Vite, Ryan Gauld.
JefeBet Prediction
The Whitecaps are on the rise, and although they have not won on the road, they have managed to draw in their last three matches. That is why, at JefeBet, we think the same thing will happen and that the match will end in a draw, especially considering that the Timbers have only won twice at home.
Prediction: Tie (POR 1-1 VAN)
