The Portland Timbers have 13 points, the same number as eighth place Real Salt Lake, who have also played one game less. After a 2-1 draw with the Houston Dynamo, the team lost 0-1 to Minnesota.
Expert Betting Tips
Austin are showing terrible results and can’t win eight games in a row, while Portland Timbers are winning occasionally. For some reason, the bookmakers see the home side as the favourite and overstate the odds on the visitors. We can and should take advantage of that. We believe that Portland Timbers will not lose.
