The final Major League Soccer game to get underway this weekend will take place at Providence Park, where the Portland Timbers and the Houston Dynamo will go up against each other in a battle between two teams with contrasting objectives at this point of the campaign. The visitors have secured their postseason place and are heading directly into the play-offs. Meanwhile, the visitors are desperately trying to force their way into the play-out game, which would give them a chance to get into the play-offs. To do that, though, they'll need to win this game.
With odds of -175 on offer at the time of writing, 'Both Teams to Score' stands out as a viable option. Both teams made light work of creating chance and scoring goals against each other in the reverse fixture, whcih contained five goals, and given that the hosts really do need to go for the win here, this could be a similar game in terms of openness.

Our Portland Timbers vs Houston Dynamo Prediction
With this likely to be an open game, both teams should create plenty, much as they did earlier in the campaign, and it simply doesn't look as if the early market has considered this enough. At the time of writing, 'Both Teams to Score' is priced at -175, when -200 would be more accurate.
Let's face it, it's not as if the Timbers are unfamiliar with both scoring and conceding in games at Providence Park, where both teams have scored in eight of the last ten.
