Two teams that flourished offensively last time out will clash at Providence Park on Wednesday evening, when the Portland Timbers will host St. Louis City. By both teams, this game will likely be seen as an opportunity to continue thriving in terms of goals scored. The real question is can either the hosts or the visitors tighten up at the back? 

On home soil, for all that the Timbers are strong in the final third, they don’t approach this fixture in particularly strong defensive form. Not only did they concede four goals in their last home game, but they’ve not kept a clean sheet at home (in any competition) since May, conceding multiple goals against several MLS teams, which suggests that a team like St. Louis can do some serious damage.

Portland Timbers - Saint Louis City SC Key Points

  1. In their last home game, the hosts conceded four goals.
  2. The Timbers have conceded nine goals in their last five home MLS games.
  3. The visitors have scored two or more in three of their last four league games on the road.
  4. In their last four away games, the visitors have scored ten goals.

Our Portland Timbers vs Saint Louis City SC Prediction

Both the hosts and the visitors have been in fine scoring form in recent weeks, so this should be an entertaining game all round, though the visitors are the ones who look slightly leniently priced to score multiple goals. After all, they come here having scored three goals on the road last time out, scoring ten in their last four away games. 

It’s also worth mentioning that the hosts have often floundered defensively at home, most recently conceding four goals at home to the Loons.
