Portland Timbers vs New England Revolution Predictions

Both Portland Timbers and New England were held to goalless draws at the weekend, with Thursday’s hosts drawing with Minnesota United and their guests playing out a stalemate with Real Salt Lake.

All of the stats suggest another low-scoring draw is on the cards this Thursday and we’ve backed a final scoreline of 1-1.

Six of the nine previous meetings between these two clubs have ended in draws and the last four stalemates between the pair have all ended in 1-1 scorelines. Under 2.5 goals have been produced in eight of the duos’ nine encounters over the years, so you can see why we’ve backed a 1-1 draw between the pair on Thursday.

The form or both teams, or lack thereof, also suggests that a draw is the most likely result this week, as Portland Timbers have only won two of their last six matches and New England have only won one of their last six. New England have drawn four of their last six matches, three of which have produced under 2.5 goals, with two ending 1-1, while Portland Timbers drew their last match 0-0.

The performances of both teams over the last month or so tells us that there won’t be many goals in this game, with under 2.5 goals being scored in four of Portland Timbers’ and three of New England’s last six matches, and that adds more weight to our prediction of a 1-1 draw for Thursday’s clash.

Neither side can claim to be in form but New England haven’t lost any of their last two matches and while they aren’t winning many games they have only lost one of their last six matches and have held some decent teams to draws in recent weeks.

We’re confident that Thursday’s match will end in a draw and have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Both teams are struggling for form right now and New England have been drawing a lot of games. When these two teams clash they more often than not produce a stalemate and that’s just what we are predicting for Thursday’s head to head.
