Colorado Rapids vs Portland Timbers Prediction & Betting Tips (15 September)

Portland Timbers are enjoying an incredible run of success on their top-flight travels, stringing together eight wins on the spin at the highest level of the MLS. Colorado Rapids, have found the going somewhat harder on their own patch of late, suffering four consecutive defeats in which they have conceded 12 goals.

Over the course of their previous 20 games in the MLS, Colorado Rapids have been involved in no fewer than 17 encounters in which over 2.5 goals have been netted. This is the sort of consistency that Portland Timbers can relate to, as 16 of the Portland Timbers last 20 matches at this level have also delivered two goals or more, so a repeat performance is expected in this clash.

Since Slaven Bilic picked up the managerial reins, entertainment levels at The Hawthorns have gone through the roof, with all nine of Colorado Rapids's MLS home games this season producing goals at both ends. Given that five consecutive Portland Timbers away matches at this level have followed the same pattern, a repeat performance is expected here.
