Colorado Rapids and Portland Timbers will clash on Saturday night in a league matchup at the DSG Park. Colorado Rapids find themselves at the bottom of the Western Conference with no points after losing 2-0 to Seattle Sounders in their opening match. It was a disappointing performance from Matt Wells’ men, who committed 17 fouls while picking up four yellow cards. Their lack of attacking sharpness was again visible in this matchup.

In contrast, Portland Timbers started their campaign in the Western Conference with a nice 3-2 win over Columbus Crew at home. The Timbers fell behind in the sixth minute but responded with two quick goals from Felipe Mora and Anthony. They had to leave it late before bagging the winner through Ariel Lassiter’s 88th-minute effort. The Timbers will want to gain some early-season momentum with another win this weekend.

Our Colorado Rapids vs Portland Timbers Prediction

Bookmakers are expecting a tight matchup, listing the Rapids as the enticing +115 betting favorites. The Rapids will be desperate for a turnaround performance following their uninspiring opening-day loss. They’ll also be playing in front of their home fans, who will want to see them impose their style in the game. Portland Timbers, meanwhile, showed some defensive lapses against Columbus Crew, conceding twice in the first half. They are missing several defensive and midfield players, including Juan Mosquera (suspended) and Omir Fernandez (injured). These injuries could affect their defensive stability. We go for a 2-1 win for the Rapids.

Our prediction for Colorado Rapids vs Portland Timbers: Both teams to score.
