Both teams to score at Houston Dynamo vs Portland Timbers 7/10 for Saturday’s MLS matchup

Competition: MLS

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

In a contest that could see a host of chances at both ends of the pitch this weekend, Houston Dynamo will host Portland Timbers in the early hours of Saturday.

Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what has been a hugely worrying run of form, Houston find themselves battling it out at the foot of the table. In their 22 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded just three wins, 10 draws and nine defeats, scoring 24 and conceding 34 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 19 and sat rock-bottom of the Western Conference, it should also be noted that the Dynamos hold the second-worst defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 defeat on home soil, Houston have failed to win any of their last 15 straight MLS contests, a run that stems back to May 23rd. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have seen each of their last four matchups finish with both teams finding the net by the final whistle.

As for the visitors, managing to make a much-welcomed return to winning ways last time out, Portland will be desperate to keep up that momentum this weekend. In their 21 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, three draws and 10 defeats, scoring 29 and conceding 39 in return. While they might have mustered a points tally of 27 and open this weekend’s fixtures sat in the Final Series places, it should be noted that the Timbers hold the worst-defensive record in the Western Conference. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-0 victory away at the Seattle Sounders, Portland brought an end to their three-match winless run. However, it’s worth highlighting, with Saturday’s guests seeing six of their last seven away fixtures finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
