Toronto FC vs Portland Timbers Predictions

Oppose struggling Toronto

Portland are worth backing to win away at Toronto. The hosts have managed just one victory in their last ten MLS home games, while Portland have won three of their eight games on the road.

They have won eight games and lost four so far, while Toronto have three wins and ten defeats. The visitors have 16 points more this season.

The hosts are in poor form, having lost six of their last eight MLS home games.

Toronto have been disappointing in front of goal at home this season, scoring just six goals in 11 games – an average of 0.55 goals per game.

Their defence has been leaking goals, and they have been unable to keep a clean sheet in six straight MLS games. Toronto have failed to keep out their opponents in eight of their last nine matches overall.

Portland are in better form, having lost just one of their last seven MLS games, while Toronto have had four defeats in their last six and are without a win in four.

Portland can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favour of the visitors looking like a decent bet. There have been under 2.5 goals in 11 of Toronto’s 18 MLS games this season and the hosts have gone down by a single goal six times in MLS this season.
