Both teams to score at Portland Timbers vs Colorado Rapids 7/10 for Sunday’s MLS matchup

Competition: MLS

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

In another MLS showdown that could see chances come thick and fast, Portland will host Colorado in the early hours on Sunday.

Starting with the hosts, while Portland might have been last seen picking up a single point on their travels last weekend, it does not cover what has been an extended rut. In their 16 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded just three wins, seven draws and six defeats, scoring 22 and conceding 26 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 26, they sit 13th in the Western Conference and four points adrift of breaking into the Final Series places. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw away at LA Galaxy, that is the only point that Portland have collected from their last four MLS fixtures. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Sunday’s hosts have seen four of their last five top-flight contests finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, also having to settle for a single point on their return from June’s international break, Colorado find themselves in a very similar position. In their 15 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, four draws and six defeats, scoring 17 and conceding 18 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 19, the Rapids open this weekend’s fixtures sat ninth in the Western Conference and just a single point adrift of breaking into the Final Series places. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw against New York City on the road, Colorado have managed to win just a pair of their last six MLS contests. Likewise, it should be noted, with Sunday’s guests seeing three of their last four matchups finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
