Portland Timbers vs San Jose Earthquakes Prediction & Betting Tips (16 May)

Before playing next match, Portland Timbers had been on a dreadful run of form on their own patch, drawing three and losing six of their previous nine top-flight fixtures, so a visit from San Jose Earthquakes is hardly ideal. Speaking of the defending champions, although they have not been the force of old recently, they have still triumphed four times in seven MLS trips.

Over 2.5 goals has been the order of the day in 14 of the previous 17 matches involving Portland Timbers at the top table of the MLS, including a 3-0 defeat at San Jose Earthquakes. Speaking of the visitors, they have also been providing plenty of entertainment recently, as no fewer than 14 of their last 14 games at this elite domestic level have delivered a minimum of three goals.

The net has bulged at both ends in six of the previous nine Portland Timbers home matches in MLS, and only one match have prevented the team in blue and white from scoring in their last ten games on their own patch. For their part, Portland Timbers have both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes in nine of their last 14 away fixtures at this level.
