Hoping to push themselves further into the all-important postseason places, the Portland Timbers will go to work in front of a home crowd on Saturday, when they'll take on Atlanta United on Oregon soil. They were defeated last time out, but the hosts have won four of their last six at home, which means that they'll likely expect themselves to get a positive result against a Five Stripes team that has won just one away game since April.
A price of -140 for 'Portland Timbers to Score Over 1.5 Goals' doesn't quite reflect the threat that the hosts can offer accurately enough. In other words, there's value to be had by betting on the home team to notch two or more at such odds. After all, this is a Timbers team that has scored lots of goals at home in recent times, scoring seven goals in their last two games at Providence Park.

Our Portland Timbers vs Atlanta United Fc Prediction
However we want to frame this fixture, it looks like a fabulous opportunity for the Timbers to do some serious damage. The Five Stripes have not often kept it tight on the road, and we shouldn't be fooled by their recent clean sheet away against one of the worst offensive teams in all of Major League Soccer. Given that they've surrendered multiple goals in four of their last six on the road, it's worth betting on Gerardo Martino's men to flounder defensively.
The hosts are up there with the most forceful offensive teams in MLS this term, especially at home, where they regularly score more than once.
Our Portland Timbers vs Atlanta United Pick: Portland Timbers to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
