Portland Timbers vs St Louis City Predictions

Away-day misery to continue for St Louis

Portland should be backed to get a home win over St Louis. The visitors have been poor on the road this season, with just one win in eight away games.

Portland have 12 points more than St Louis, having won seven of their 16 games so far. The visitors have three wins, five draws and eight defeats.

Portland are unbeaten in their last seven home games in MLS, having lost just one of the last nine.

The visitors are struggling at the moment, having failed to win nine of their last ten MLS games, with four of those ending in defeat.

St Louis have struggled to score on the road, failing to find the net in four of their last six MLS away games. They have lost four of those matches and have been shut out in their last two.

The visitors are looking vulnerable at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 of their last 12 MLS games. St Louis have conceded on each of their last six road trips.

A 2-0 home win for Portland looks the best correct-score bet. There have been fewer than three goals in four of Portland’s last five MLS games and they have won three times in MLS by a two-goal margin this season.
