Portland Timbers vs New England Revolution Prediction: Many goals are expected in Portland

Portland Timbers vs New England Revolution: Prediction for the Match on July 06, 2025

In the 21st round of Major League Soccer, the Portland Timbers, currently in 9th place with 30 points, will face the New England Revolution, who are in 20th place with 24 points. This match at Providence Park promises to be an exciting encounter, especially considering their previous matches and the offensive characteristics of both teams. The hosts are winless in their last two games, while the visitors are also on a weak streak, having gone three matches without a win. 

Portland Timbers: form and statistics

The team coached by Phil Neville has scored in every home game this season. However, they have not been in their best form (LDWWL) at the moment, and will be missing key players in this match due to injuries and suspensions, including their leading scorer, Anthony. The Portland Timbers have relied heavily on their leading scorer, Anthony, for most of the season, although he has unfortunately been sidelined with a muscle injury and is expected to return in mid-July. This puts additional pressure on players like Felipe Mora and Kevin Kelsey, who will need to step up in Anthony's absence. The absence of key players like Anthony and Jonathan Rodriguez will severely impact the Timbers' offensive capabilities. Additionally, the suspension of Jimmer Forey will leave a gap in the defense, putting additional pressure on the rest of the team to step up their roles. I expect Portland to take advantage of their home-field advantage, maintaining an offensive and aggressive approach, especially in the second half, where they had significant success scoring goals.

New England Revolution: form and statistics

Caleb Porter's team, meanwhile, are looking to improve their game after a poor run of form (DLLWD). New England Revolution are underdogs in this match according to bookmakers, reflecting their lower ranking and recent performance. This difference in odds is also influenced by the Timbers' 100% home record and the Revs' unpredictability on the road. The Portland Timbers have had a mixed record in their last five games. They showed different faces during those matches, showing both their strengths and some vulnerabilities. The Timbers have managed to secure one win from their last five games, but have also suffered two losses and two draws. Their recent form shows that while they can get results at home, they are struggling to maintain consistency. While the injury list is not extensive, they will still miss Alex Bono, which could affect the team. Bono's absence means New England will have to depend on their other goaltending option, Slovenian A. Ivanic, who may not offer the same level of reliability.
