Portland Timbers vs New York Red Bulls Predictions

Portland Timbers were beaten at home 1-0 by DC United at the weekend and will be looking to bounce back in front of their own fans on Thursday. New York RB slipped to a third straight defeat away at Seattle Sounders, going down 4-2 in the end, and have now lost three of their last four games on the road.

All of the stats point towards a win for Portland Timbers on Thursday and we believe both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced in the process.

Portland Timbers have had the better of New York RB over the last five years, picking up three wins from the pairs’ last seven encounters, and over 2.5 goals were produced in the last three meetings between the two clubs. The last time Portland Timbers hosted New York RB, back in August 2017, second-half goals from Valeri and Mattocks helped earn the home side a 2-0 victory.

The form of both clubs heading into Thursday’s match adds weight to our prediction, as Portland Timbers have won three of their last six matches, all at home and New York RB have lost four of their last six matches, three of which have come on the road. Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in three of Portland Timbers’ and four of New York RB’s last six matches, which is why we’ve backed a 2-1 scoreline in favour of the home side on Thursday.

Both teams have been scoring and conceding goals on a regular basis, with Portland Timbers have only failed to score in two of their last six matches and managed one clean sheet during that period and New York RB have failing to score in one of their last six matches but haven’t been able to keep any clean sheets during those six matches.

We’re confident that Portland Timbers will win on Thursday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The hosts have a good recent record against their guests and head into the match as the form favourites but we’re expecting both teams to score during the ninety minutes and for just one goal to separate the pair at the final whistle.
