As far as betting goes, the Colorado Rapids have been an unpredictable team with mixed results in MLS 2025, but they have remained consistent in not winning on the road. This has already happened four times in their last four away games, where they conceded exactly two goals in each of those matches. This is one of the main reasons why the Timbers will be favored for Wednesday's match with odds around -140 to beat the Colorado Rapids at Jeld-Wen Field, despite the fact that the two teams are only separated by one point in the Western Conference.

The Timbers surprisingly failed to qualify for the MLS playoffs in the last two seasons, but 2025 seems like a year to break that losing streak, where they are defending well, especially lately, as we would have to go back to May 6th to find the last time the Timbers conceded two or more goals.

Their record against the Colorado Rapids is also excellent, as they were able to score eight goals in two matches in 2024, one in the Concacaf Champions League and the other in the MLS.

Our Portland Timbers vs Colorado Rapids Prediction

After drawing two in a row, losing three in a row, and winning their last two, Colorado Rapids and their coach, Chris Armas, are almost certain to go with an unchanged starting eleven, despite having a long injury list of up to five players, including their first-choice striker, Brazilian Rafael Navarro. A match where the Timbers take control is expected on Wednesday. Our prediction for Colorado Rapids vs Portland Timbers is: Portland Timbers to win.
