A serious battle between two high-flying Western Conference teams will unfold at Allianz Field on Saturday evening, when the Loons take on the Timbers. As far as the hosts are concerned, the time is now to really cement their play-offs position, and by winning each of their last two games, that's exactly what Eric Ramsay's men appear to be doing. Having taken all three points from the Seattle Sounders, which is never easy, the Loons stepped on the gas to beat Real Salt Lake by three goals to one away from home last time out, which again, is impressive. 

Impressive efforts have been few and far between for the Timbers of late, and it's fair to say that Phil Neville's men have lost their way a little. The viisitors are still in the postseason places, but they've slipped down to sixth, meaning that they have little room for error. In other words, the men who've won none of their last three league games, need to start picking up points.

Minnesota United - Portland Timbers Key Points

  1. Kevin Kelsy has scored two goals in his last two games.
  2. No Portland Timbers player has scored more goals than Kevin Kelsy this season.
  3. Currently in MLS, Kevin Kelsy averages 0.50 goals per 90 minutes.
  4. Kevin Kelsy has taken six shots in his last two appearances.

Our Minnesota United vs Portland Timbers Prediction

Having gone through a little dry spell, lively forward Kevin Kelsy refound his scoring touch by bagging a brace against FC Cincinnati recently, and with those goals under his belt, the Venezuelan may get back to scoring on a more regular basis. He'll enjoy playing on the break against a Loons team that isn't always defensively secure at Allianz Field, while let's face it, an average of 0.50 goals per 90 minutes is hard to ignore when odds of +255 on offer. Our Minnesota vs Portland Timbers Pick: Kevin Kelsy to Score.
