Competition: MLS

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/13 @ 888sport

In an MLS showdown that could see chances come at both ends of the pitch, Portland will host San Jose in the early hours of Sunday.

Starting with the hosts, while Portland might have been disappointed to have only collected a single point last time out, they are enjoying an impressive unbeaten run. In their 21 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded six wins, nine draws and six defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 30 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 27, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat eighth in the Western Conference and with just their goal difference keeping them outside the Final Series spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw against Vancouver on home soil, Portland are unbeaten in each of their previous six MLS contests on the spin. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Portland have seen three of their last four fixtures finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, watching their unbeaten run come to an abrupt end last time out, San Jose will be seeking an immediate response here. In their 20 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, seven draws and eight defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 41 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 22, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 13th in the Western Conference and holding just a two-point buffer from dropping to the foot of the table. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss at home against Houston, that was the first loss that San Jose have suffered from their last four MLS showdowns. However, it should be highlighted, with each of those four domestic contests finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
