Competition: MLS

Market: Portland Timbers double chance

Odds: 23/20 @ 888sport

Looking to spring an upset on the road this weekend, a high-flying Portland will make the trip to Columbus on Sunday evening.

Starting with the hosts, while Columbus might still find themselves leading the Final Series chase, they do have the feel of a side seeking some stability. In their 30 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded nine wins, 14 draws and seven defeats, scoring 40 and conceding 35 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 41, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat seventh in the Eastern Conference and holding a two-point buffer from slipping out of the Final Series spots. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss away at Inter Miami, Columbus have managed to collect just a single point from any of their last seven domestic contests. Likewise, it should also be noted, Sunday’s hosts have won just a pair of their previous six MLS home fixtures.

As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been an eye-catching purple patch, Portland should be smelling the chance to spring an upset here. In their 31 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, 12 draws and eight defeats, scoring 50 and conceding 47 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 45, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat sixth in the Western Conference standings and holding a five-point buffer from slipping out of the Final Series spots. Likewise, as for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 victory at home against Minnesota, Portland have now won each of their previous four MLS matchups on the bounce. It should also be noted, suffering just a pair of defeats since the end of May, an away double chance can be found at appealing odds here.
