Both teams to score at Portland Timbers vs Seattle Sounders 4/6 for Saturday’s MLS matchup

Competition: MLS

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/6 @ 888sport

In what could be a free-scoring affair from the MLS this weekend, Portland Timbers will host Seattle in the early hours of Saturday.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in another hugely worrying display, Portland are in the midst of an extended rut. In their 27 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, 12 draws and eight defeats, scoring 43 and conceding 44 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 33, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 10th in the Western Conference and just a single point adrift of breaking into the Final Series spots. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a thumping 4-1 loss away at Sporting Kansas City, Portland have failed to win any of their previous five MLS matchups. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, along with shipping seven goals in their back-to-back defeats, Saturday’s hosts have seen each of their last seven contests finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, while Seattle might have been last seen grabbing an action-packed point, they find themselves in an almost identical position to Saturday’s opponents. In their 26 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded 10 wins, three draws and 13 defeats, scoring 35 and conceding 34 in return. Also managing to muster a points tally of 33, they currently find themselves sat ninth in the Western Conference and sat above Portland thanks to their goal difference. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a lively 3-3 draw away at LA Galaxy, Seattle have won just a pair of their last 10 MLS matchups. Likewise, with this weekend’s guests seeing five of their previous six fixtures finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
