St. Louis City SC vs Portland Timbers Prediction
Both of their meetings last season ended in a draw, and Saint Louis is 2-1-2 in their five meetings against Portland. Over is 4-1 in their 5 meetings.
In this St. Louis City SC vs Portland Timbers Prediction, Portland is coming as -140 home favorites. Portland is rightfully favored, as they have almost twice as many points as Saint Louis this season, and have been very good at home, while Saint Louis has been terrible on the road. Both teams are coming off wins that ended their previous losing streak, and Portland has never won Saint Louis at home. Both teams have been very good defensively this season, ranking on the top-6 in goals allowed, with 2.67 combined. Saint Louis is also terrible offensively, with the second-worst offense in the West, so this is a recipe for a low-scoring affair. With the total set at 3 goals, which also offers push protection, I will go under the 3 goals in this one.
