On Saturday evening, there's Major League Soccer action at Allianz Field. Minnesota United take on the Portland Timbers as they look to close in on top spot imn the Western Conference. The hosts have been in great form of late, losing none of their last four games, three of which they've won. The visitors will also have their tails up following their mid-week success against the San Jose Earthquakes, but they're far from prolific on the road, so it won't be easy for the Timbers.

Our Minnesota United vs Portland Timbers Prediction

Ultimately, this looks like a great opportunity for the Loons to pick up another big win. They've played really well in recent weeks and although theyh drew to the Galaxy last time out, they were the better team, creating more than their opponents, as they have done now in each of their last three, as well as their last four at home. This bodes well ahead of a match against a Timbers team that has struggled to create/score more than they've given away on the road. The visitors have simply surrendered more on the road than the hosts have at home and this is key. Considering that they've conceded an average of 2.14 goals on the road, compared to Minnesota's average of 1.16 at home, the visitors, who've also been easily beaten in terms of expected goals in each of their last five away games, posting recent travelling xG numbers of just 0.36, 0.78 and 0.65, look set to struggle at Allianz Field. Our Prediction: Minnesota United to Win.
