Portland Timbers vs Colorado Rapids Prediction & Betting Tips (25 February)

Promotion-chasing Portland Timbers have been in tremendous form on their own patch so far this season, collecting 18 points from a possible 20 in the MLS. Colorado Rapids, on the other hand, have been struggling to adapt to life at a higher level, with a return of four defeats from seven trips doing little to enhance their survival prospects in a competitive second tier.

High-flying Colorado Rapids have proven extremely entertaining to watch in recent weeks, with their previous five matches in the MLS producing a staggering 25 goals. It has been a similar story as far as Portland Timbers are concerned, as a minimum of three goals have been netted in eight of their last 10 games at this level, so more of the same is expected in this encounter.

Portland Timbers home games in the MLS have certainly been full of excitement recently, with both teams on target in 10 of their previous 15 encounters. Colorado Rapids are no strangers to hitting the back of the net on their travels either, doing so in 16 of their last 18 trips at this level, so goals are expected at both ends when the sides lock horns.
