Colorado Rapids vs Portland Timbers Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Major League Soccer on Wednesday, 5 July 2023.
Neither Portland Timbers nor Colorado Rapids had a decent start to this fresh MLS season. Both teams are sitting outside the top half in the standings.
Going on, Colorado Rapids have a comparatively worse display here as they recorded 18 winless matches in their 20 league outings and are sitting at 14th spot, the bottom of the table. Meanwhile, Portland Timbers are at 12th position in the same list.
The past four overall wins was evenly split, with two each for both teams. Their h2h recordings in the last five matches at this stadium are also in a tally.
The past three meetings at this stadium had goals under 2.5 ft. Colorado Rapids scored a total of 4 goals in those three matches.
Colorado Rapids was having a three-match losing streak before recording a draw in their last two consecutive home matches. It is worth noting that they are yet to seal a win at home this campaign.
Meanwhile, Portland Timbers are also having a similar form on the road. But they have managed to win one in their 11 road trips so far this campaign.
However, we are still not sure about picking up a winner from these two unimpressive outfits. Therefore, we are not going to back one of them to seal a win from this match.
Neither of these two teams have a decent offensive and defensive line this season. They both have allowed goals but have not scored much, which inclines us to back the under 2.5 goals tip. Moreover, their recent h2h clashes at this venue have been low-scoring.
We do expect a both teams scoring scenario here as both these teams have leaked goals consistently in the past matches at respective patches.
Both these teams are having an equally weak display at the moment. Portland Timbers managed to seal a win on the road, against Colorado Rapids winless run at home. But we are still unclear to back one from these two here
In that case, we like to start with the under 2.5 goals tip at 1.90 odds followed by the both teams to score tip at 1.75 odds. Their poor defensive display is the main reason for backing these two tips.
