Austin FC will have a very short window to recover, just three days, after their League Cup quarterfinal elimination at the hands of Toluca. That's why betting sites have them as underdogs when MLS resumes and they're at Jeld-Wen Field on Saturday for their rematch against the Portland Timbers.
The Timbers, on the other hand, had a full week to recover after their match against LAFC. The draw left a bitter taste, as the Californian side's goal came late, but on the other hand, the Timbers will be delighted with the result, since LAFC was dominant and had 33 shots on goal, while the Timbers only managed 8. Da Costa scored an early goal; he had previously scored in his team's 3-1 victory the last time they played at home.
This will be the first clash between the Timbers and Austin FC in 2026, following two matches in 2025 and 2024, all of which ended in games with fewer than 2.5 goals, with one team failing to score.

Our Portland Timbers vs Austin FC Prediction

At this point, the betting odds continue to favor Portland Timbers since their publication, and it seems like a relatively safe bet to believe that they will not miss this clear opportunity to score three points.
Our prediction for Portland Timbers vs Austin FC is: Portland Timbers to win.
