Toronto FC vs Portland Timbers FC Prediction: The Reds won’t concede more than two goals in this fiercely competitive MLS matchup

Toronto FC vs Portland Timbers FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 29 June 2025

The Reds will be keen to build on their recent stalemate at home when they lock horns against Portland Timbers FC at BMO Field later this week. In a bid to end their disastrous league run, Toronto FC must do everything right to recover against the guests who are unbeaten in their last three MLS matches.

Toronto FC: form and statistics

Last five games: WLLLD

The Reds have now gone four consecutive games without a breakthrough, although they settled for a (1-1) share of the spoils a few days ago against New York Red Bulls. Toronto FC didn’t start the game well, failing to muster any shots on target at the break, while their opponent fired three shots at goal. They conceded in the twentieth minute and were on the losing end at halftime. After the break, Toronto FC pressed more and were rewarded with a goal in the 51st minute. Toronto FC were once again saved by their highly rated goalkeeper, Sean Johnson, who made four solid saves. 

The (1-1) stalemate against New York Red Bulls was far better than their disappointing display against Charlotte in their (0-2) home loss. Toronto FC have managed one win in six games, although they have scored at least one goal in four of their last five MLS games. 

Robin Fraser’s men are one of the most inconsistent teams in the division this campaign, as they sit in fourteenth place on the standings. With three wins in their last eighteen MLS games, Toronto FC are now three points above the bottom of the Eastern Conference. 

Toronto FC have picked up fourteen points from a combined fifty-four, scoring nineteen (19) and conceding twenty-five (25).

Robin Fraser’s men are still searching for their second win on their home turf since the league began, heading here with seven losses and three stalemates.

Toronto FC Lineup

Lorenzo Insigne sat out in their game a few days ago, while Stefanovic started from the bench. Robin Fraser is practically trying to try something new, and it really did work out against New York Red Bulls. Coach Robin Fraser has lots of injuries ravaging their performance, and he has tried to tweak the formation in four consecutive games, all to no avail. 

Toronto FC Potential Starting Lineup (3-4-2-1)

Sean Johnson—Zane Monlouis, Lazar Stefanovic, Petretta—Thompson, Flores, Osorio, Spicer—Maxime Dominguez, Lorenzo Insigne—Ola Brynhildsen

Out: Kerr, Derrick Etienne, Henry Wingo, Franklin, Gomis, Federico Bernardeschi

Head coach: Robin Fraser

Portland Timbers FC: form and statistics

Last five games: DLWWD

Phil Neville’s men are presently unbeaten across their last three matches, heading here with a (1-1) stalemate against San Jose. Portland Timbers started the game poorly, failing to get the ball in the net despite controlling the possession. The game changed trajectory after the break, when San Jose were reduced to ten men. Juan Mosquera broke the deadlock in the 71st minute for Portland Timbers, and they were on the verge of securing the maximum point until San Jose FC levelled in the 93rd minute.

The result was after their back-to-back wins against Colorado Rapids and St Louis. Portland Timbers have secured eight points from their last five matches, scoring five and conceding four. 

Phil Neville’s men have also picked up thirty points from their last eighteen MLS games, as they sit in fourth place on the Western Conference standings. 

Portland Timbers have won three, lost three, and drawn twice across their last eight away MLS games. 

Portland Timbers Lineup

Phil Neville won’t do too much to tweak his team, even though some players are still on international duty. They’d be worried about Anthony Alves (the highest goal scorer), who was substituted in their most recent game at home. 

Portland Timbers Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Pantemise—Mosquera, Surman, Zuparic, Fory—Chara, David Ayala—Moreno, Pereira Da Costa, Anthony Alves—Felipe Mora

Out: McGrew, Lassister, Rodriguez

Head Coach: Phil Neville

Toronto FC vs Portland Timbers FC match prediction 29 June 2025

Toronto FC are still in search of their second home victory since the league began. They managed to at least secure a point on their ground against a solid opponent, and they’ll be keen to build on such a strong display. On the other hand, Portland Timbers were unable to take advantage of ten-man San Jose at home, sharing the spoils in one of the most secure games this season.

Toronto FC are one of the weakest teams at home, and they’ll face a side who are yet to win on the road in three tries. Portland Timbers are still a very dangerous side despite their inconsistency, and I would rather back them than the hosts.

Despite the hosts' terrible results on their ground, they are yet to concede more than two goals at home since October 2024. This game might not produce lots of goals, but the guests are the closest to securing the maximum points. 

My match prediction is for Portland Timbers to win either half for a coefficient of 1.65 on the Betway bookmaker.

My betting tip for this game is for Portland Timbers FC to score before the break for a coefficient of 1.87 on the Bet365 bookmaker.

My final prediction is BTTS for a coefficient of 1.62 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

Good luck!
