The Portland Timbers are enjoying an upturn and will try to extend their winning streak to three consecutive matches. The team has achieved two consecutive victories with a score of 2:1 and is in a good moment, as for the first time since June 2024, they are one step away from three consecutive wins. Their home form is also impressive - five wins, three draws, and only one defeat in nine home matches, which is a solid foundation for another good result.
Guest team uncertaintiesSan Jose narrowly lost to Saint Louis City 1:2 in their last match, ending their eight-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. Despite this stable period, their performance specifically in away matches remains inconsistent - three wins, one draw, and four losses in their eight away games so far. This shows that the team struggles to find the necessary stability away from home.
Prediction: Under 3.5 goalsAlthough direct clashes between the two teams have historically leaned towards high-scoring games, the current form of both teams includes matches with a lower number of goals. It is this trend that leads me to expect a moderately result-oriented match with a maximum of three goals.
