Betting on the Portland Timbers
The Portland Timbers are an MLS team that we’re used to seeing in the middle of the table, but 2023 has been a complete nightmare for them. They haven’t won in their last six matches and haven’t tasted victory since defeating Sporting KC on February 27th.
Injuries have taken a toll on this squad as Yimmi Chará, Sebastián Blanco, Marvin Loria, Felipe Mora, and Christian Paredes are all out. Playing at home, the Portland Timbers have one win, one draw, and one loss with only two goals scored and two conceded.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Aljaz Ivacic; Eric Miller, Dario Zuparic, Zac McGraw, Claudio Bravo; Eryk Williamson, Diego Chará, Santiago Moreno; Juan Mosquera, Nathan Fogaça, Diego Gutiérrez.
Betting on the Seattle Sounders
The Seattle Sounders come into this match with three consecutive victories and a goal difference of +12, showing just how unstoppable they’ve been in the first part of the MLS season. They’re already considered one of the top contenders to take home the ultimate prize in 2023.
However, Kelyn Rowe and Dylan Teves are both dealing with physical issues and are at risk of missing the upcoming match against Portland. When playing away from home, the Seattle Sounders have two wins and one loss, scoring six goals and conceding three. Keep an eye on them!
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Stefan Frei; Alex Roldan, Yeimar Gomez, Jackson Ragen, Nouhou Tolo; Albert Rusnak, Joao Paulo; Christian Roldan, Nicolas Lodeiro, Jordan Morris; Heber.
JefeBet Prediction
On August 26, 2022, these two teams faced off for the last time with Portland Timbers coming out on top 2-1 thanks to goals from Dayron Asprilla and Sebastián Blanco.
However, it’s clear that the Seattle Sounders are currently a much stronger and more cohesive team. That’s why, at JefeBet, we’re betting on them to score a win on the road this Portland Timbers vs Seattle Sounders match in Portland. Get ready for some thrilling soccer action!
