Betting on the Portland Timbers
The Timbers are on the rise, climbing up the standings and aiming to reach the top of the conference for a shot at the title. They have gone undefeated in their last three domestic league matches and were dominant in their latest performance.
They recently secured a 2-1 victory against St. Louis City, followed by a solid 2-2 draw against Austin FC at home. In their most recent match, they delivered a commanding 3-1 victory over Vancouver on their own turf. They have been maintaining a strong momentum, and have been unbeaten in their home stadium during these recent challenges.
Out of the six games played in front of their fans, they have only lost one and have conceded a mere six goals.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Aljaz Ivacic; Juan Mosquera, Dario Zuparic, Zac McGraw, Claudio Bravo; Diego Chará, Cristhian Paredes; Santiago Moreno, Evander, Yimmi Chará; Franck Boli
Betting on Minnesota United Football Club
They are still in the playoff zone but slowly slipping down the table because they have gone six matches without a win, with only one draw in between. Obviously, this has caused them to lose ground with several teams that have surpassed them.
Their last two matches resulted in losses. They suffered a tough 2-3 defeat against the Vancouver Whitecaps, and then were heavily beaten 3-0 by Sporting KC. The team isn’t functioning well defensively, having conceded 14 goals, with 10 of those while playing away, which is alarming going into this upcoming match.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Dayne St. Louis. The following players were selected: St. Clair; Michael Boxall, Brent Kallman, Miguel Tapias; DJ Taylor, Hassani Dotson, Robin Lod, Kervin Arriaga, Kemar Lawrence; Bongohkulhe Hlongwane, Sangbin Jeong
JefeBet Prediction
At JefeBet, we believe that Minnesota’s losing streak will continue and Portland will win the Portland Timbers vs Minnesota United game at home, where they are strongest. Plus, it’s a place where they score a lot—they’ve scored 11 goals there—which is why we think the home team will score at least two goals.
Prediction: Portland Timbers Moneyline (POR 3-0 MIN)
