Prediction: 2-2
Portland Timbers
Portland Timbers will be aiming to extend their winning run in the Major League Soccer to three games when they take on Vancouver Whitecaps at BC Place. Following a thrilling 6-1 win at San Jose Earthquakes, Portland defeated Seattle Sounders 1-0 in midweek, with the team climbing to second position in the Western Conference. Even though several footballers are sidelined with injury for the visitors, we predict that Giovanni Savarese’s troops are going to find the net in Monday’s football match.
Vancouver Whitecaps, on the other hand, were anything but solid at the back in a 6-0 loss at Los Angeles FC, but given their fine home record in the Major League Soccer, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. In their last encounter in MLS Portland Timbers recorded a 3-1 win over Vancouver Whitecaps.
