On June 14, 2025, the Timbers will turn Providence Park into an inferno of chaos and unleash upon San Jose Earthquakes this tidal wave of attacking fury. Sitting 4th in the Western Conference, the Timbers are a home juggernaut, being unbeaten in ten out of their last 12 MLS matches on their own turf. Recent form W-D-W-L-W would suggest the team is in fighting shape, and a home record of W-W-D-W-L is loud and clear of his dominance. Their most recent encounter, frustratingly, finished in a 0-0 stalemate against St. Louis City on June 8, 2025. They managed to fire 12 shots, four on target, maintaining 55% possession with a 1.4 xG rating but lost the killer instinct needed to close out the match. Being the balanced beast with scoring 28 goals, conceding 22, and five clean sheets in 16 matches, Felipe Mora, Antony and Kevin Kelsy with five goals apiece are a deadly front three, while David Da Costa is in the midfield running the strings with a league-best eight assists. Then pair this with great goalkeeping in Maxime Crépeau, especially in the U.S. Open Cup, and X is base-level excited with one fan rejoicing, "Moreno's Seattle Screamer shows he's our clutch king." Portland's past against San Jose is a one-way slaughter; they've remained undefeated in 16 MLS home games against San Jose since 2001, and that streak has the Timbers Army salivating for blood. Phil Neville's bold proclamation of a 'new fire' within the squad after the mid-season break speaks volumes about the aggressive plan to destroy the Quakes and get revenge for that 4-1 humiliation in May.
Portland Timbers Lineup
Expected Lineup: Maxime Crépeau, Claudio Bravo, Kamal Miller, Dario Zuparic, Juan Mosquera, David Da Costa, Eryk Williamson, Santiago Moreno, Antony, Felipe Mora, Kevin Kelsy
Out: Diego Chara (doubtful, hamstring), James Pantemis (out, ankle), Zac McGraw (out, knee)
Head Coach: Phil Neville

San Jose Earthquakes: form and statistics
The San Jose Earthquakes are storming Providence Park like a pack of wolves, hungry for the prey that Timbers have so far successfully kept from being taken. Sitting in the 8th position in the Western Conference, the Quakes have been on an electrifying eight-match unbeaten run in all competitions, showing that though they continue to fight, their form remains W-D-W-L-D. Their away record is this mixed bag: L-D-W-L-D, to be exact. Against St. Louis City on May 31, 2025, they lost 2-1 in a game in which the poor defensive side revealed some cracks after 10 shots and 6 corners against them. They represent a team of raw potential with 20 goals scored, 24 conceded, and 4 clean sheets out of 16 matches played. Bruce Arena, the winningest coach in the league, has his team flying high after a 1-0 U.S. Open Cup upset over Portland, with Jack Skahan's 116th-minute goal as the gut-punch. Cristian Arango, the league's leading scorer, and Josef Martinez constitute a fearsome assault up front, while Cristian Espinoza and Jeremy Ebobisse keep the pace going with their ironman stint of 93 and 92 consecutive games respectively. On X, the Quakes fans were crazy hyping Arango with one fan screaming, "Chicho's gonna torch Portland again!" Their 4-1 battering of the Timbers in May 2025 at PayPal Park was a seismic shift, garnering their first-ever MLS victory over Portland since 2019, and the “we’ve got grit” quote from Arena after the cup win has them ready for war. Danny's return for the Quakes in goal is a megaboost, but with the doubtful legs of Carlos Akapo and Josef Martinez expected, Arena will have to seriously consider looking down his bench.
San Jose Earthquakes Lineup
Expected Lineup: Daniel, Tanner Beason, Rodrigues, Dave Romney, Vítor Costa, Jackson Yueill, Niko Tsakiris, Jack Skahan, Cristian Espinoza, Cristian Arango, Jeremy Ebobisse
Out: Carlos Akapo (doubtful, calf), Josef Martinez (doubtful, muscle injury)
Head Coach: Bruce Arena

Portland Timbers vs San Jose Earthquakes Head-to-Head Statistics
This rivalry has a history of fireworks, with Portland enjoying a dominant 22-6-10 record going their way in MLS regular-season match-ups, including an almost legendary streak of 16 games without defeat at home since 2001 (comprising 12 wins and 4 draws). But don’t count the Quakes out—they reversed the narrative with a 4-1 demolition of Portland on May 5, 2025, at PayPal Park, their first MLS win over the Timbers since 2019, due largely to the clinical finishing of Ousseni Bouda and Cristian Arango. The U.S. Open Cup upset, a 1-0 bucket-shakedown from Jack Skahan's extra-time goal, reaffirmed San Jose's capacity to upset Portland's apple cart. The Timbers are desperate to reassert their home dominance, while the Quakes are itching to prove their recent wins are no fluke. This will be a fierce and goal-thrilled showdown with bad blood dripping down its face!

Portland Timbers vs San Jose Earthquakes Match Prediction
Thorough study of the statistics and trends behind Portland Timbers and San Jose Earthquakes we will deliver three red-hot betting tips to fill up your wallet. Back Portland at 1.77, since their ironclad home record against San Jose combined with a ruthless attacking trio in Felipe Mora, Antony, and Kevin Kelsy should overpower the Quakes' wobbly defense, which is more so if we consider Portland measuring higher than San Jose in expected goals at Providence Park. But it shouldn't be a clean sheet—go for BTTS & over 2.5 goals at 1.667 since Portland has conceded in four of their last five home matches, and San Jose's Arango and Espinoza cut through defenses like a buzzsaw. Lastly, force an ample wager on over 3.5 goals at 2.156 as seven of the last 10 head-to-heads have seen at least three goals, with Portland firing in ample shots and San Jose exploiting defensive lapses. This should prove a high-octane free-scoring brawl that will keep you constantly on the edge of your seat.
