Competition: MLS

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

Expecting what could be another lively affair in the early hours of Thursday, Portland will host Nashville when the midweek MLS fixtures get underway.

Starting with the hosts, while Portland might have been disappointed to have only collected a single point last time out, they are enjoying an extended unbeaten run. In their 23 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, 10 draws and six defeats, scoring 39 and conceding 35 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 31, they open the midweek fixtures sat seventh in the Western Conference standings and holding a one-point buffer from dropping out of the Final Series spots. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 4-4 draw against Minnesota on the road, Portland are unbeaten in each of their previous eight domestic contests. Likewise, it should also be noted, Thursday’s hosts have seen five of their last six fixtures finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, once again having to settle for a single point last time out, Nashville are in the midst of an extended rut. In their 23 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, eight draws and seven defeats, scoring 29 and conceding 29 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 32, they open the midweek fixtures sat sixth in the standings and holding a two-point buffer from dropping out of the Final Series spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw against Vancouver on home soil, Nashville have managed to record just a single victory from any of their last seven matchups across all formats. Likewise, with eight of their previous nine fixtures finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
